That is a good question and YES, we mean to behave. This moratorium has been going for a few years. You should have seen us early on. It almost became a quest to see what we could get away with. Since then, we have (collectively) buttoned down on our fabric purchases and we do fess up to falls. A few years ago, I would not have left a quilt show with a few FQs - it would have been YARDS and YARDS of "oh isn't it pretty and I just gotta have it" fabrics.

I joined late, but have curtailed my purchases tremendously since joining. So far only a needed backing and binding for one quilt and half yard of a pretty brown for a horse quilt that will be delivered tomorrow. I even resisted buying more of that brown for the binding. Did a 2 color one from other leftovers. So, yes, I am doing okay.

If “sticking with the program” means never buying any fabric, probably not. If it means loking through what you have before buying, yes for sure. I have bought fabrics that were really needed to finish quilts for which I already had 80% of what I needed, that is a win. And one or two splurges can keep you on track the balance of the time. It’s like an eating plan.

Dang, ka9sdn - that is amazing.
I have to admit that I am not remotely interested to be THAT WELL-BEHAVED coz I do like fabric shopping, but I do tip my hat to those who stick to their convictions. Mine is more like a "bring it back to some sense of reasonable"
