Maybe you could just buy 1 piece - your favorite out of the group.

I don't think I could pick just one. They are all really pretty. There isn't one of them I don't like. I want 2 yards of each of them.

I think the fabric moratorium does not have quilt police so if something exceptional comes along, I won't be afraid to break my own rules. It is all up to the individual. I will still try to use what I have in my stash and work on my many UFO's but I have two quilts to make in next 18 months and know that I do not have the right fabrics so will have to buy things that will work for them. One will be my own design and one is a Celtic pattern with my own adaptation.

Then get it! Sometimes it is impossible to go cold turkey! I have been on a fabric diet since July and I have done very well, even after going to the AQS show in Grand Rapids. I was "told" to buy a FQ bundle that I fell in love with because I had been such a good girl on my diet. I am just making a conscious effort to not buy willy nilly. But if I found a fabric that made me drool and I couldn't stop thinking about it, I would definately buy it!

Gorgeous collection...go for it! I know we are no help....sorry.

I signed for for the fabric moratorium and I went to all my favorite LQS's this weekend and purchased what I "needed" and informed them I wouldn't be in for a while. I think they all have bets on how long I'll last. I only bought some blenders, Christmas fabric that was in sale and a few other things that I fell in love with. We're going away on the 23rd so no more fabric shopping for me until 12/31/2013.

I just did google that collection - not what I expected - my Mom had maybe 100 different varieties of iris in her garden -

If you really love it that much buy yardage or you will never forgive yourself after it is gone and you can't find it anymore. Been there, done that.

It doesn't start until Jan. 1st, so you have time to buy!! How's that for enabling?!
