It is only a very quick, fleeting thought... :wink: :D:D:D

Sometimes,but it is the fabric that was given to me,not the fabric I picked out and bought.

Yep, I think many of us are in that boat. Some of us joined the "Fabric moratorium". If you're interested, look for the thread under that name. Good luck to you!

Yes, I am overwhelmed. Made a resolution not to purchase any but have purchased over 50 yards already this year. I am also in process of putting my fabric on "bolts" so that I can see it more readily and "shop" in my own stash. However, that project is stalled out because I spend too much time on the QB finding new ideas, new sales, new projects, new books, etc. I need an intervention.

Nope! I can still move around without it all coming crashing down on me. I try to use some stash with each new piece I buy. Although this year I am trying to be a little smarter with my purchases. I had a lot of unexpected expenses at the end of the year and am still trying to recover, so I am TRYING to shop wisely.

I try to de-stash older fabrics, by trading finished small quilts for newer fabric ... or include completing a UFO every couple of weeks with the small stash on hand.
At present am getting addicted to beautiful decorator fabrics
and making "wholecloth" projects large enough for lap quilts or
bed runners. Very satisfying as they work up quickly.
In meantime I piece and machine quilt projects for others.

All the time - but that doesn't keep me from buying more. :)
