At least that is my story and I'm sticking with it. <grin>
This is great, Belfry - I am a lot slower and less productive than many of you and so my measurement really only counts at the end of the year because I just don't have enough to measure as I go along. :-) I'm really glad AND somewhat regretting reporting those ten pounds of fabric... it seems like such a lot when you put it like that!

This is great - way to go, Lena! I agree with others who have no issue with this challenge as well as with those who reminded us that you can adjust the "rules" of the moratorium to work with what your quilting journey will be this year. We're really just a support group who loves using up fabric and hearing stories of others who are doing the same. :-D

(If "destash" wasn't a word, it is now!)
The little cartoon devil on my shoulder read this and saw a completed scrap project returned to the donor with a bag of even smaller scraps that were still left over from that one! Tee hee!

That's impressive! It's great that you can identify fabric that you may have fallen out of love with and let it go. :-)

I believe you probably
can, Pet... the real question (and the boring, nagging one) is
should you? ;-)
