I did well with my moratorium in January-not only did I not buy any new fabric, I did not not purchase a single craft related item, not even when I exchanged some leftover yarn at Hobby Lobby! I do get to go fabric shopping this next week, tho.

My son brought me a quilt I had made for him and asked me if I could "fix" it. The top is literally in tatters, and beyond repair. It was a BOM from Joann's in 2002.

However, the backing, though faded, is still in decent shape, and the many years of washing have given the batting (W&N) a fabulous drape, and he really like the quilting design. So, after much discussion, mostly him telling me it's his favorite, we decided to make a new topper, tie it to preserve the existing quilting, and replace the binding.

He wants a semi-scrappy patriotic theme, and I just don't have enough in my stash, so I must do some fabric shopping. Hopefully, I will be able to resist the urge to buy anything else, or more than I need! Wish me luck!
