But then, I saw fabric which is usually half price, on sale for $2 a yard. I couldn't resist. I ended up buying 13 yards of material. Not good!
Then last week, upon my husband's suggestion to go to a quilt store, I bought 2 fat quarters but used one of them that night.
So I guess that I am out of Fabric Moratorium group. But I will promise that if I am still in, I won't buy anymore fabric until April29 when I go to the quilt show in Somers, NY. What must I do to regain your confidence in me?
So I guess that I must be the one that bought the most fabric on one buying spree. Has anyone bought more than 13 yards, at one time, during the Fabric Moratorium?
I still have confidence in you, we all fall of the wagon at one time or another.
Yes, I did at the very beginning of the Moratorium. It was to finished a double sided civil war quilt. I bought 18 yds. I ordered two pices and one did not match so I had to order a third. Then a couple of weeks ago I bought a 6yd and a 2yd to start a quilt for my DD friend's wedding. I think I am still in as the fabric I bought was not a random buy but to finished quilts. That's the promise I made to myself some time ago.
