I wish I had more control. I have tried and failed at this many times. My friend and I are always telling each other we need to stop buying fabric, but we head to the quilt store and buy more fabric. We have made a point of only buying what is on sale or we can use a coupon on. I would go for this if I thought I could do it. Like some of the others say: "I lost before I started". Good luck to you brave souls who are able to control this compulsion to buy fabric.

I haven’t purchased fabric in months. I even gave away part of my stash when I moved in July. I still have enough to last me at least through 11/11, so I am in. A good thing for our quilt shops that there are so many of you did not accept the challenge. :-P

Count me in. I spent enough at the Houston International Quilt Show along with my stash at home to last me a while.
Plus I'm getting cabinets made for my sewing room and I can't wait for that to be done and all in place so I can organize everything in that room and start sewing on projects.
Oh,does my block of the month count at buying fabric? I have only received two blocks and have 10 to go?

I'm not saying I'll buy none, because there might be a special quilt I want to make as a gift, but I'm cutting WAY back! Plus getting rid of stuff. It's becoming an emotional burden to have all this fabric and patterns.

What I'm thinking about is this...
* no fabric purchases to start a new quilt top
* from now until 1 November 2011
What you can buy is this - items to finish an existing quilt project (either WIP or UFO):
* batting
* backing or binding fabric
* fabric (if nothing in your stash will work)
* thread or notions
Anyone else interested in joining me?
