Also, saw DDIL this morning. We talked about making a big boy quilt for DGS. He is 4 and is really into Legos. Is it bad to buy new fabric with Legos on it?
The moritorium isn't designed to deny you the pleasures of creating and crafting. It's designed as a "check step" in fabric shopping..the check step is for you stop, look in your stash, then buy if necessary. You design the parameters of your commitment to yourself. Your grandson should have a special quilt made with specialty fabrics if it's important to you......the FQ purchase, to me, would be a personal exemption since you've been waiting and planning for its release for over a year. Maybe, you sacrifice something you would have bought to find the balance. Again, you set the parameters to your personal commitment. We'll do our best to encourage you stay on course.
