I didn't think of it that way! I haven't shopped to much....I've invested in my retirement! When I look at how much of the fabric I bought on clearances and close-outs, compared to fabric prices today....I have really made a good investment. That perspective feels much better!
It does feel good knowing I am not alone. I have a 14" x 14" wallhanging I want to finish this weekend. That will be my goal. Several of you mentioned having a deadline or a goal. My favorite quilt store used to have a quilt of the month. They gave you the monthly block kit for free. If you return it by the following month deadline, they gave you the next quilt block for free. That was a great motivator. The other quilt I was proud of that got me really going was the Quilt of Valor that the guild had us do with a deadline.
You are all getting me going! I'll keep checking in!
