I haven't bought any fabric yet this year either!
Yay me! I've had four finishes, all of them were simple bright stuff from stash for small humans. I'm going to start another scrappy for a dear dear friend and then I have a quilt for my hubby planned, both from stash, I'm not sure that I'll make it all year but I have tons of batting stored up and I pieced all my backs from stash which I'm going to try to keep doing...wish me luck!

Congratulations to all who managed to stay on the Fabric Moritorium train. So far I've been to JoAnn's with no fabric purchases, and I really tried to find something I couldn't live without.
I've been reoranizing, which reveals hidden UFO's and fabric I'd forgotten. Big motivation to stay on the train.

I resisted! I had a 60% off coupon for JoAnns and decided to use it on a large spool of thread. I didn't even wander the fabric area -- just went straight to the thread, grabbed the one I wanted then hauled my hiney out of there.
Welcome, Paint Me Judy! This group has really helped me not over purchase on fabric. And the UFO group has challenged me to finish a bunch of projects.

petthefabric, I second Blue Bell's remark! Thanks for the kind words, E
...seeing them again makes me want to get back at them, but I have lots EOY bookwork to do before our tax appointment later this month.

All pics....Great blocks and colors...I read the 365 challenge but will not be able to do it this year with moving and all. I like the splash of bubblegum pink...that will be beautiful.
i splurged on Mini Mosaic Quilts book but still no fabric. I'm preparing for Road to Calif. on Thursday but really only gonna purchase fabrics and precuts that scream "own me" .... I have to remember that anything I buy I have to pack so that is my motivation to cool it...

I drooled over the new Connecting Threads catalog today and then put it away. Did place an order from Nancy's Notions for a set of Westalee Rulers (Circles to make Fan designs) and a stitch strip (Curved) to iron seams open, But I ordered no fabric!
