Sunday Stash Report

Just in time for the last Stash Report of 2018. My feathered star quilt is finished! I am very happy at how it turned out. Not sure if I will do another quilt using Jodi Barrows Square in a Square technique, there is quite a bit of waste with all the cutting involved, and you have to be very careful how you are cutting- ask me how I know. Several of the center blocks had to be made twice because of my cutting errors!

Feathered Star
A trip to Memory Lane on Saturday, resulted in the purchases below. More corals and blues for the Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt. Sandi also brought me a few more to use. Hopefully we will have a enough to complete this quilt. The last few clues are coming fast and I have a lot of catch up to do!


Also purchased were the neutral below and a great Martini fabric that I will be using for a backing.




Here are the final numbers for 2017. Almost 75 yards used, but too much added. I think my goal for 2018 will be to use up 100 yards and to keep the purchases to a minimum!

Used this week: 15 yards.
Used YTD:  196.5 yards.
Purchased this week: 6 yards.
Purchased YTD: 123.0 yards.
Net Fabric Used YTD: 73.5 yards.

Happy New Year! Here's to a happy and healthy 2018! Keep on Stitching!

Still no finishes, but progress being made. Below is one more of the feathered star blocks completed!


Two more blocks to go. These will both be with red feather and green/gold center blocks. Then sewing together and a couple of borders. I see a finish on the horizon!

Also completed was the block for Sunshine Guild. A nice simple block that will be raffled off with all the others turned in.


No changes to the stash this week. 

Used this week: 9.5 yards.
Used YTD:  181.5 yards.

Stash Report

No finishes yet. Still working on the feathered star, but making progress. 

A trip to Rosie's with Sandi, yielded the fabrics below for On Ringo Lake, Bonnie Hunter's Mystery quilt. The first clue is in progress- nine patches, and second clue will await the new ruler that Sandi picked up for me. Looking forward to using it, as it looks like it will save a step in putting together the flying geese units that are up next.

A finish of sorts this week, the blocks for our guild's mystery quilt were completed. I will be awaiting the next clue at our January meeting.




Nothing used this week, but hope to make a dent soon.

Used this week: 9.5 yards.
Used YTD:  181.5 yards.
Purchased this week: 10 yards.
Purchased YTD: 117.0 yards.
Net Fabric Used YTD: 64.5 yards.

Have a great week and happy sewing!
