I'm going to join this group for another year. I did purchase fabric last year, but this group and the size of my current stash will help encourage me in 2025 to invoke the Fabric Moratorium! I was able to keep my internal goal of purchasing only fabric on sale or clearance. I have a love/hate relationship with JoAnn Fabrics "Last Chance" section....everything is 60% off and now is 75% off. I did only purchase that fabric with the intention of using my stash to finish a quilt. This year's misjudgement was pulling out my flannel bin....I was determined to use it all up this year making Project Linus quilts. I made 5 quilts (sashed squares, strip, potato chip blocks, pinwheels, hourglass). Sadly, each time, I had to purchase find just that perfect color of xyz for sashing, borders, backing, etc. So, now, I still have a flannel bin, except, now it can barely shut. And, I have scraps to use!!! So, hmmmmm I think I'll put the flannel bin away until September, 2025 and work on my scraps (no bin this time, they are all over the place.......so it might be hard to determine how successful I am). I also will "try to" stay away from estate sales of quilters.........So, I think this year is the year we will all be successful with our Fabric Moratorium. We can do it!!! Thanks for organizing this group!
