I started the fabric moratorium last year, but didn't get very far. I was asked to make a baby quilt in the spring, and while purchasing fabric for that, several extra yards just happened to fall into my cart. In June came my retirement, complete with $200 worth of gift certificates to local fabric shops. Of course, I couldn't just use the gifts for batting, although I don't really have any on hand, so I spent it all (and then some) on fabric for my stash. Then a few other pieces of fabric found their way into my home. Granted, with the extra time that came with retirement, I made quite a few more quilts this year than I usually do, but not enough to use up as much fabric as I purchased. Now it's once again time to organize my stash and start using it. As I won't be able to get to my sewing machine for another week or so, I have been working on an EPP project. So far this year, I have used up about 2 inches of fabric from my stash. It's a start!
