Added year to date 19.375 yds
Net used 2011 42 yards!
I'm still ahead of the game, but my net used number is shrinking! Of course, I am only calling the fabric "used" when my projects are completed, so I'm sure it will turn around soon.
I realized that my collection of neutrals was quickly dwindling, so I picked up some on sale at Joann's. I still had some of the fruit fabric from the stack n whack projects, but I had to add some more of the darker green fabric. Then I attended the Tampa quilt show on Friday and 5 fat quarters that I can add to my redwork stash, jumped into my tote bag!
I just love the smug look on the cat/tailor's face in this interpretation of the Emperor's New Clothes!
I also pieced blocks 10,11 and 12 for the Raggedy and Friends BOM from the Painted Quilt, and I'm almost finished the embroidery on block 10. A busy week, even with two sets of visitors and a quilt show.
Now head back over to Judy's blog to see how everyone else is doing.......
You are doing great on your usage. Everytime I use a few yards there is some fabric that I run out of and have to go buy somemore. At least I am being more selective.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is SO fun. I have to check out that pattern!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute blocks. I think adding a spot of green was appropiate!liz
ReplyDeleteThose fairy tale blocks are great -- and your green pea is the perfect touch!
