But then you get into 3 months...6 months...that's when it starts to make me nervous. Could I go a year? Just talking materials, I bet I could. But psychologically? OOOOoooo...I dunno....
So, I bought a "lot" of cotton thread, just to be safe. I'd hate to be out of thread if I really resolved *not* to buy anything quilting-related....
Anyone ever done it?

Yep - done that. My rule was that I could only buy anything IF I truly didn't have a match in my stash. OR if I finished something start to finish from my stash.
OMG - you'd be amazed how many projects I have that don't have mates in my stash (another reason to join swaps). ROFL!
Self-deception? maybe. Rewarding? Definitely.

LOL Gran of 6, thats just too funny!!
As far as not buying anymore fabric or notions for quilting... I don't ever think I could stop (at least not as long as I am on this board :lol: ) I keep seeing what everyone makes and it makes me want more. I gotta say, I just saw a post on here the other day about the WM BOM fabrics and now I feel I must get some because its just too cute. Being here is just too tempting not to buy anymore :)
