Johnette you are doing great on not buying, fantastic! Lovely quilt tops.
Jane, IMO, I strongly believe it is perfectly fine to swap you stash or whatever with other board members or quilters, and this does not affect this FM. At least that is the way I figure it is. All in favor, I want to here YEA!!! I swap fabric here all the time and don't consider it buying fabric. Plus I'm using up my stash in the mean time. Enjoy your fabric!!!!
TJ, your tote looks very nice, nice way to use up your stash.

Washed all the donated fabric by hand to get out the perfume-y smell. They are in mesh bags being dried now I hope it worked. I think it did I stuck my nose on each one after rinsing it. Sounds awful but i don't have much of a sense of smell.

You know this thread is working for you when your not happy to go to the fabric store to get a fabric that you need because even after three trips through your entire stash including totes you can't come up with something that will work as your stop boarder. Sigh I am seriously short of solids and so sometimes I just can't find a solution that is aesthetically pleasing. But it was funny I was just seriously annoyed I have to go. I have just been working so hard to find uses for what I got and only adding batting, backing and necessary solids and only when I have to. I have been enjoying the savings

Well you all have been busy while I was away. My mom doesn't have internet and the roaming option was spotty so I just stayed disconnected. (That is a weird feeling these days I must say.) My sister, niece, and I went to one of the larger towns. One of the stores had fabric but it wasn't set up in an appealing way so I stayed away (plus I was thinking of the moratorium). When we rounded the corner there was another fabric store which was set up more like a LQS here. I did go in and found all the fabrics I already knew from the States. One corner had Tilda fabrics which I thought were German. Well, the label said "made in Korea" and it was $19 per meter. So I passed.

Question of the day. If we go to a LQS and buy row by row or highway 36 block kits, does that count as buying frabric? I went to one of my LQS and bought 2 row by row patterns kits and 1 highway 36 barn kit. I'm just curious. I was doing so good until last week and I went row by row shopping in Omaha, Nebraska. If I have time in the next week or so, I will try to go to a few other shops in MO. I know I'm going in the wrong direction again. Anyway, happy saving everyone.
