I have been using the moratorium as an excuse for stepping away from the cash register a whole lot of the time. I haven't always been successful, but at least when I plunk down money for fabric, I know what I'm doing with it....not just shopping for stash. I'm also going through my stash and cutting up the smaller pieces into 5" squares and 2 1/2" strips because I noticed that small pieces get lost amongst the larger pieces. This way, I have what I need when I'm making a scrappy quilt. The only problem is that I've been cutting and straightening for quite some time now and only have 2 large shelves finished....about 8 more to go.
