Ooh, I'm so glad I popped in here - love the self-awareness and self-control. Remember, Fabric Moratorium "rules" are really just more guidelines and are meant to be flexible to allow you to "do you" while enjoying the great feeling that comes from using fabric you had on hand.

I've come to realize that I get so much pleasure and stress reduction right now from digging through a bag of scraps from the free table at my guild meetings that I am not even going to count them as fabric acquisitions at present. They still fulfill the "budget" part of my Fabric Moratorium approach, at least! I haven't actually put away the contents of the last two months' bags, but I have grabbed handfuls of what's in them on several occasions just to touch and sort and dream for 10 minutes when life just gets to be too much and I need to breathe. I have also learned that I am quite good at giving other people's "trash" a home in a quilt when I've got the time and the vision and so I am confident that most of the fabric will find that kind of home soon enough. :-)
