Hi Joe'smom - everyone is welcome to interpret what the moratorium means to them. I'd like to think that our primary goal here is to help people feel good about using the fabric they have (and getting some breathing room in their sewing spaces, too). :-) I get a lot of my fabrics from thrifting or the free table, and while I love starting with a collection of unconnected fabrics when planning out a quilt, I find that it can be challenging to bring some of the super-random things I've collected together into a coherent and pleasing quilt. However, that doesn't stop me from just adding to my stash because "I might want to make a quilt with a lot of yellow in it one day and there's all this yellow fabric here..." This is why I'm trying to be a bit more sensible about what I grab for free because if it's just going to sit in a box, it's not going to help with destashing. :-D
