It’s been raining here lately, here’s my dog Jetty cuddling up in his bed staying nice and cozy!
New Year, new stash numbers! I’m so happy. I ended 2016 using more fabric than I bought, but only by about 2 yards, so I’m hoping to do better this year. I have a finish under my belt already for this year which I’ll be posting about Friday, it was a fairly large quilt and all from my stash, yes!
I also started a new quilt. I am following the Butterfly Blossoms tutorial by MSQC. I used some Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda Charm Packs that I had bought a few years back for the quilt. Luckily I was able to find some yardage online for the border fabric. I thought I would be able to use some other fabric I had bought last year, but it didn’t look right. Hopefully I will be able to use that fabric for the backing.
My goal this year is to really thin out my stash. The Butterfly Blossoms quilt is for a cousin’s baby due in April and I’m happy I was able to use mostly fabric from my stash to make the quilt. I have another cousin due in May and I’m hoping to exclusively use fabric from my stash. It’s so hard with all these new adorable fabric lines coming out all the time!!
Used this Week: 9.75 yards
Used year to Date: 9.75 yards
Added this Week: 1.5 yards
Added Year to Date: 9.75 yards
Net for 2016: 8.25 yards
I’m linking up with Patchwork Times.
I hope to end this year using more than I bought, I stopped tracking last year because the numbers swung so far the other way. I think Jetty is super cute!!!
Thank you!! We love him. Good luck!!
You are off to a great start for the year. Using your stash is really fun when you get going. You look at your stash in a whole different way. Congrats on doing the whole quilt from your stash.
I love being able to quilt solely from my stash!
Congrats on being in the black. You’ve made a great start on stash busting for 2017.
Thank you!
