Your best 'help' is this board. We will glaldy enourage you to enlarge your stash, cut out lots of quilt patterns, browse the QB, and, eat lots of chocolate.

It does not go away in my estimation. It just grows with time! But it is a good addiction :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes you definitely need help, but I live too far away from you. I suggest you find a local quilt club and make friends there so you will have someone to help you. They will help you go shopping for fabric. They will help you by sharing advice and tips; by sharing patterns and showing their quilts so you see new ones that you just have to make.
We here on the board will also help you in every way possible. Mainly, tho, we are limited to giving you praise and encouragement and making sure you have lots of things to read and look at when you are here.
Welcome to the club!!! Hugs and smilesssss

Nah. You don't need help. Maybe someone to shop with so you can share the fun. Enjoy yourself.

Nope there is no cure. The disease tends to get worse over time. The more experienced of a quilter you become the more ideas you will have in your mind and the more fabric you will need.
