Every year, about this time, my stash report takes a bit of a hit. You see, Quilts Plus has a sidewalk sale and ice cream social. This year, there was tons of great fabric, including some lovely batiks, for $3.99/yard. When the prices are that good, it is really hard to pass it up. So I didn't!
I bought the rest of the bolt of the red and white and the green batik. All the others are 1 yard cuts.

We spent a little time outside after I got home, because it is absolutely gorgeous here this weekend (high 70s, windows open, cool mornings - feels like spring again), then I finished cutting out my next quilt top - my oriental french braid. So, at least I have some stash busted this week!

I haven't started working on the quilting I was planning to do post-Olympics, so that is the goal for this week. I have a day off and nothing scheduled tomorrow, so am hoping that I will get at least the panel I have on the frame finished.
Here's the final accounting:
Fabric added this week: 10 1/8 yards
Fabric used this week: 2 3/4 yards
Fabric added year to date: 29 yards
Fabric used year to date: 63 7/8 yards
Net fabric used: 34 1/8 yards
Hope you had a great week with your stash! You can see more stash reports and read some really funny stories about chickens over at Patchwork Times.

I am jealous. I did not know they had a sidewalk sale annually. And, I am convinced ice cream is one of the basic food groups. But I need more fabric like I need a hole in my head.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
