Bellfrybat, I have only been saving the instructions for the Autumn Evenings BOM, as I REALLY want to knock out some more UFO'S before I start anything new.
And Bluebell, I too have a weakness for reproduction fabrics. I'm contemplating using some of my 30's FQ's in some kind of scrappy pattern.
I looked back at my purchases this year, and I think I didn't do too badly. I spent a good bit at Foust, but it was nearly all extra wide backing fabric... except for three bolts of Civil War repro fabrics. I also bought 3 kits from a guild member (again, Civil War repro's) and Mass Drop had a kit (modern) with rulers package that was half price.
So, actually not too bad, since that was spread across the whole year.
Goals for next year - finish at least 12 UFO'S (one for each month) and USE MY STASH!!!
