That's me, too. Have way too much fabric but I tend to love it all and have a hard time getting rid of any of it. Haven't bought any fabric yet this year! Twelve days, so far!

I agree with Jennie Pennie. Look at the new fabrics and purchase your favorite one or two to supplement your stash. If nothing else, make sure you get all the patterns as they are posted. You could make a smaller version with fewer blocks.

I agree with your advice to Jennie....not only would you use stash fabric, but the quilt becomes one of a kind.....

Whew!! Sanity and reason have returned, thanks to all of your helpful comments. I have plenty of T/berries projects to finish. And if I do sign up for the free BOM , just to keep it in reference , I can use my own fabrics. In the future. Maybe. When I've finished up some of the others!!

Thanks so much for the emergency resistance therapy and support.

Oh, I did the same thing! I was real good the first part of the year then came the sales! Got an excuse though, I fell off the wagon and hit my head. Was in a daze and forgot to be good and started buying! And buying. And then bought some more! So, can I join up? I promise to be good and hang on so I don't fall of the wagon. I have also joined up with the ufo board and I think with having to answer to both boards I can do it!

I really need this. I have a wandering mind, so if I tell myself that I must eat yogurt, WHICH I REALLY DO NOT LIKE, while buying fabric (on line) then I will probably lose some weight and not buy as much. It took me two days to eat one Oikos Greek Yogurt cup. But I did not buy any fabric.

Instead, I must decide where to hide my stash of bolts. I'm having a party for my Master Gardener's class in August and it must be hidden by then.

Shame on Jenny Doan MSQC for offering such deals.

Well, I made it 12 whole days! Maybe it's something to do with today being the 13th? I just finished a small throw top and decided to try a minkee backing, which I don't have. I gave myself a stern talking to on the way over to the LQS: 1.5 yards of minkee. That's it. No looking at anything else. Do not go into the markdown room. Went straight over to the minkee and they only had a selection of 3 colors: pink, blue & white, none of which will work. Oh good, won't even buy that. That's when I saw it. A sign. "All Fabric $8.99". Everything. Batiks, lovely name brand fabrics, and WIDE BACKING, all the same price!!! I've been deleting all my quilty emails so didn't even know this sale was going on. I got a couple, I mean a few, well more like several, OK lots of yards of neutral wide backing. Could not pass it up at that price.

welcome sunrise. I think you can do it too. I also belong to the UFO board.

I love to take that trip with you from denial until reality hits. You slay me, princess.
