I've done great! No fabric purchased at all! (But we won't talk about all the lampwork beads I've purchased this year.)

Good luck to everyone in resisting the urge the urge to not buy fabric. I have been able not to buy as instead I have bills to pay first and anything left over........hahaha I dont have anything left over. My quilting business is really starting to pick up and anything I make extra is going to save for a honeymoom as we have been married two years now and have not been able to afford a trip yet.

I am doing alright so far. 22 days out of 356. Not to bad!!!:D

So far so good here! I haven't bought anything new and have actually made a quilt from my stash that I should actually be quilting right now. I have a long way to go till the end of December, though, and people posting great sales here in not helping!:o

Sew did I to be sure, :(

Not doing the moratorium, but with prices of everything rising, seems I have no money left over to buy fabric with and so have been using my stash. But, the minute I do, I'm going SHOPPING!!!

I was traveling and just had to visit fabric stores. So I consider my purchases a help to those independent stores bottom line and a wonderful increase in my stash!! how is that for rationalizing?

fabric moratorium
 

No fabric purchased since August 13, 2011. Really!!!! Well, except for 6 yards of wide backs at 7.95 per yard - who could resist? and then my grandson asked for a Boston Bruins quilt and I didn't have the solid black/gold/white that I needed. Surely there is a grandson exception , isn't there?

so far i have done great with this challenge- not only have i resisted all sales- but i have managed to make a new- good sized scrappy-out of my stash quilt each month (so far) so, here is my march ---stash quilt- all scraps- really took some thinking at times :)
i still feel (overwhelmed) by my stash- it just doesn't seem to shrink---but i am finding it more & more difficult to find fairly large pieces---getting to the point where there are not many (yards) left- just pieces---the challenge continues---as soon as i get caught up on some quilting- i will be looking to see what i come up with for April :) . i will actually have 1 more done for march- making another flannel raggy that is almost to the point of clipping- maybe this next week- too cool! 2 scrappy stash quilts done in one month :)
ok- i will stop patting my own back & show you the pics---although i did post them on the main page-so some of you have probably already seen them....anyway---March stash quilt....

Very pretty quilt!
