MY STORY As I posted yesterday I am on a quest to use up my stash, make 5 scrappy quilts this year and not buy any fabric. Last night I pulled out a magazine that had a scrap quilt pattern that I am interested in making. While looking through the magazine I found another pattern that I really liked and then thought of a piece of fabric that I had just bought in December "just because".
MY PROBLEM Of course I bought 2 yards and fabric and the pattern calls for 3 yards.
MY SOLUTION Would it still count against me if I had someone else buy a yard of fabric for me? Or does it make sense to buy one yard of fabric so I can use 4 yards from my stash? What's a girl to do?

If you are still able to purchase the fabric you are short on, I say buy it. You need more of it in order to use the piece you have in your stash. You aren't purchasing the fabric "just because".
I like the way you think, Pieceful Jane. I have a busy week this week so won't be able to do any shopping until the weekend, so still have a few days to think about it!!!!
Hi Pam, I think you should buy the fabric, does not count toward buying fabric since it will not go into a tote, besides you really need it for your project. I also am really into scrapy quilts, I have been in that mode of using my stash and scrap quilts for the past year. I have not been inspired to make any "grand" quilts lately. Maybe the end of this year will get me inspired again. Sandi
