I can not join this year. I plan on using a lot of what I already have in scrap quilts. SO I may just buy some fabric if I see it. Maybe not. I may also do as another suggested and cut some fabric into kits. I may be having wrist surgery and won't be able to quilt.

I'd love to join in. Had already made that promise to myself. Somehow, though, if I drive near a fabric store there is some kind of magnetic draw that pulls me in and to some bolt of fabric that is calling my name. I will try very hard to resist the magnetized fields. Jinnie

I'm gonna try thats my plan anyway for the new year. The quilts that I plan to make this year Ive already bought the fabric for, and the backing. So unless theres a problem, i dont see a problem.

There is a group on Yahoo Groups called Stashbusters.

Me too I am in I have too much stash and have to think about making it smaller. Although I haven't bought much in the last couple of yrs, I do buy some and I shouldn't buy any. Too much.

Never works for me, new fabrics are introduced several times a year, besides I work part time in a Quilt Shop!!

Lucky You!

My only pledge here will be to not "over" buy!! This means if something is on sale for a really good price, I stash feed. Example is the last retreat this year had a sale table. Fat Quarters for 75 cents. Bought 30 for next years retreat goodie bags, plus a selection of solids, guild is having an Amish BOM this coming year. I don't have lots of solids in my stash, what I have is more tone on tone. Plus 12 black/white quarters for a pineapple quilt (top is done) and then just some neat colors to add to the stash. For that price I could not resist. The retreat leader was clearing her supply of last years fabrics so she could start with new fabrics, when her retreats begin in the spring.

I will try it. I do have problems putting blocks together so maybe this will work. I have lots of small pieces (mostly FQ size). Been on no buying for over a year and still have lots of fabric to use up.
