I am jumping into this world of stash reporting in 2010, so I am not sure quite how you all do it, but I thought I would list my informal set of rules that I am using for myself:
Fabric added this week: 0 yards
Fabric added year to date: 0 yards
Fabric Used this week: 1 1/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 1 1/8 yards
Net fabric used for 2010: 1 1/8 yards
- My stash week will last from Sunday to Saturday, so I can post late Sat. or on Sun. morning.
- I will count as busted anything that comes out of bins or off of shelves and gets cut for a project (hopefully I will be pretty good about starting these projects in the same week).
- I am rounding to 1/8 of a yard.
- If it comes from my scrap buckets, it won't count because I will have already counted fabric that goes in there as busted. I usually only put things in there that are less than 1/2 of a fat quarter.

The fabric used this week was for a table topper I am making for a friend. I was happy to find a good use for this charm pack that someone else won at the retreat I went to last year and gave to me because she didn't care for the fabric line. Am hoping to get this quilted, bound, and in the mail by the end of January so that it can be used for a couple weeks before and after Valentine's Day.

Way to start out the New Year.
Great work on being in the black stashbustingwise already :)
I was thinking about how you are counting something as done. Do you have many UFOs? If not, I love the way you are counting something as done. I wish I could do it that way, But I am a scrap quilter and I have way to many UFOs it is unreal, so for this year I have decided I cannot count something as done until the top is done and I can measure it for the backing. Then if it is all scrap I will just claim the backing size twice to account for the scraps. But that is just me.
