Stash Report Week #8...

February 26 - March 3, 2012

This week saw some movement in my stash - both incoming and outgoing.

On the addition side, my local quilt store had a Leap Day sale where you could use your 40% off JoAnn's coupon on one cut of fabric.  I used mine to buy 4 yards of this pink grunge fabric by Basic Grey.  It'll be great for a future backing.

I have to admit to being tempted by a few other fabrics recently, but thus far I've held off on buying more.  My stash is so large, that I really don't need it.

I finally finished a project this week too.  It's the February Schnibbles project.  I'm calling mine The Night's Sky.  I changed the pattern some and think I used 2.75 yards for the top.

I also made some HST's (half square triangles) for another project, but won't count them until the top is done.  Other than that, not much sewing going on over here.  I am hopeful that I can get back to quilting La Maison  this week and potentially even finish it!

So...
Purchased-this-week: 4 yards
Used-this-week: 2.75 yards
Purchased-to-date: 9.5 yards
Used-to-date: 20.25 yards
Net used: 10.75 yards

This time last year, I had already purchased 42.5 yards, so I'm feeling pretty good about that number.  Of course, I'm using a lot less than last year too.

The cats are still enjoying their fort, although I think it's about time for us to take it down.  They have plenty of other toys to play with so I'm sure they won't miss it.

Until later...
