I did both! LOL

When the sale was to good to pass up, the stash was fed!!! I only pay full price these days when I need a color that I do not have in stash. Fun fun shopping the sales. One of our LQS's have flat folds that are from last years fabrics. They purchase mill ends and pass them on to us for backings. A good price and no one knows if it aged on our shelf for a year or if we bought a flat fold.
I have eliminated a lot of stash this year and plan to continue doing so next year. |
I knew better to even go there. If I see something I like, I buy it.

Being a recent newcomer to QB, I wasn't aware of the fabric moratorium... I have been fortunate (I guess) that I am too busy to shop bargains and fabric sales so I only buy fabric for specific projects. I participated in a couple of early bird sales about a month ago, but only purchased bundles and fabric kits that will have a specific quilt project in mind and will then shop for borders and backings as I complete my projects.
I think I will stick to the same mind set for 2012 as I don't have much storage space and it sounds like collecting fabric can become an addiction. : ) |

I bought a huge stash from someone on craig's list, so since then I have mainly just used fabric from there. I rarely buy any new fabric because I have so much, but I do buy a solid if I need it because I only have a few of those, and I may buy a couple of yards here and there if I really like something I see.

To stay out of fabric shops would probably be the answer for me. I love this forum as there are so many inspirational tutortials that show me how to use what fabrics I have. Alas, the pictures of completed quilts/projects however, at times spurs me into heading to the fabric store as many times I can't envision using different fabrics.

I cut back the last couple of months. DH not working right now and have been rather creative with my projects using my small stash. Will probably buy something after the first of the year for a large project.
