Alikat: If you want my vote I want to see, plus I want all the details, was it on sale and where did you get it? Vicarious thrills are almost as good as the real thing. However I do appreciate your compassion not wanting to enable others. LOL Many of us have fallen off and climbed back on, you can too.
Pat: It does feel good doesn't it? Can you post pictures, scrappys are my favorite.

I too admit that I have fallen off the wagon a couple times but only bought charm packs from on-line sites that were offering free shipping. Plus I do NOT have kiddie prints in my stash and have several baby quilts to make so they will all have the same pattern but just different prints. Otherwise, I am doing fairly good. Sometime this summer, I want to go through my stash; iron, measure and cut out pieces for various quilts I have in mind and get them in boxes so they will be ready to sew on when I need leader/enders.

deedum, the strip quilt is very pretty.

Allicat, I'd like to see the fabrics, too. We still like to look.

Yes, Allicat, it doesn't cost anything to look. LOL It actually inspires me!

Completely fell off the wagon today... happened upon Timeless Treasure's Organic Viking line that I somehow missed when it came out last summer. My grandfather claimed we were descended from the Vikings and the ones on this fabric are nearly identical to the caricature that he used on his stationary. No regrets.

I have definitely been more circumspect about what I buy, so in a sense the moratorium is working... will try to climb back on the wagon.

Cheers, K

Well, March is about over. I was to big city the 21st and I never looked at the material. Then back on Sunday and never near any store with material .I had to buy door locks and packing boxes this month. I plan to go to another town tomorrow but will not be shopping. Senior bus. I have not bought any material this month. 3rd monthin arow.

I have sewed a little on this quilt top. I have the center seam pinned to sew and then only the two end strips to put on. I have found this top hard to get the slash to match up across the quilt. This one has been a learning experience. All stash and stash to finish it. Rest of planned quilts should go faster.

Default Please don't look if you lack the strength to resist

I purchased most at Dallas quilt show. Some from our own board members......
The 2 pinks in the 4th photo was bought a wally world for my daughter (10yrs old) who is also already accumulating a stash.
