Another multiyear participant here...This has not stopped me from buying fabric, I just put more thought into my purchases. When I do buy fabric it must be for a current project or be on sale and work into my existing stash. If neutrals are on sale I will also buy as they provide grounding for my scrappy quilts. I have a $ amount to spend over the year...I don't like it if I have exceeded my budget. I did this year, but also a two LQS had closed and I bought fabric for 50% off. Not thinking I will need much for this coming year.
