Okay, Fellow Quilters & Fabric-holics, This is my game plan (and it's fairly effective when I STAY OUT OF THE FABRIC STORES!!!)
1. I shop in my stash.
2. I stay out of the stores and make a quilt!
3. I "shop" on line and put all kinds of beautiful fabrics in the "cart", then LOG OFF without making a purchase. It FEELS as though I've shopped but I haven't spent any money. If I LOOK on line and PRETEND that I've shopped, that seems to do it for me.
3. Now part of MY problem is that I LOVE a bargain (You DO know that you go to hell if you pay retail) so if someone says its on SALE, I HAVE to look! So I look on line, take a deep breath, QUILT instead of shopping for quilts, and then it's all good.
Truth be told, if I were able to make a quilt a week for the next 5 years I'd still have fabric left so over so when I shop I buy solids so I'll have something to that goes with all the stash I currently have.
