No Buy!

Yesterday I stopped at the Quilting Bee QS to see if the ruler I'd mentioned to Sharon had come in.  It had!  Before going, I thought I might find a yard of fabric to go with what I intend to make my daughter's nursing cover up.  I think I have a yard that went with that line (Pumpkins Gone Wild), but unfortunately, I didn't store them together.  Anyway, I thought they might still have some of the green and went back to look on the sale shelves.  Found two yards, neither in that line for $4 a piece.  Bought them!  Bought the ruler.  Then last night I realized I haven't done so good with starting 2011.  I bought 3 charm packs the first of the month.  Of course, I've already used one of the charm packs in a table runner (Hearts Aflutter), and will use the other 2 for a "Hugs" quilt.  One yard of the new fabric will go as lining for the coverup.  The other yard will go to stash and hopefully be put into a Hugs quilt.  I want to use stash, not add to it! :(  But the fabric is cute and will look nice in a Hugs quilt--I may keep a strip to make the froggy quilt (a WHIMM) for my sister.  Still, everything I buy and use means that much used from stash.  I can see how I got into trouble in collecting so much fabric!
