Stash Report Week #19...

May 7-13, 2010

Well this week dealt a big blow to my usage totals but all for a good cause.  I went shopping yesterday with my friend LeeAnn to find fabrics for the quilt I'm making her.  We found some gorgeous fabrics (after stopping at 3 different quilt stores).  It's going to be a king-sized quilt so of course it required a lot of fabric.  For the top alone, we bought 16.25 yards!  LeeAnn is going to wash and iron it before returning it to me so I don't have a picture of it.

But I do have the next best thing to a picture of the fabric - a picture of the quilt.  Although she picked out the design from a book, I plugged everything into my Electric Quilt software and came up with a pretty good approximation of the finished quilt.  I even found thumbnail images online of the fabrics she picked out and inserted them.  So this is the quilt that I'll be making for her...

112" x 112" (in EQ5)

While we were trying to find the perfect fabric combination, I ended up with a few samples that were eventually ruled out.   So these 3 fat quarters will make there way into my stash for some future project.

That brings my fabric intake this past week to 17 yards!  That's a lot of fabric.

And as for what I used - not nearly that much.  I finished my Supaida quilt last week.  I used 1.5 yards for the backing, binding and label.  I also used another half yard for the first 3 blocks of my Bee Sampler.  But that's about it.


So...
Purchased-this-week: 17 yards
Used-this-week: 2 yards
Purchased-to-date: 112 yards
Used-to-date: 165.25 yards
Net used: 53.25 yards

Until later...
