I continued over the last two weeks to plod along on the baby quilts I have in progress. One got a back made, loaded, quilted, and bound! The other one got borders on, a back made, and is loaded onto the frame waiting for me to start quilting it.
Last week on Friday, I had an afternoon off work with no specific commitment, so my mom and I took a trip up to the newest quilt shop in the area, Quilt Expressions. She had been there before, but it was my first trip. I really enjoyed the store - lots of blenders and brights, several full lines, and just about every color of Kona cotton that you could ask for. Oh, and they also had a nice sale room. Fabric on the bolt was 40% off and 1 yard cuts were 3/$20. I focused my efforts primarily on tone on tone fabrics that I can use for borders, sashing, and binding, and I did a pretty good job. It did make my stash report take a plunge downward, but I feel good about the type of fabrics I added to the stash (that's my story and I am sticking to it!).
Here's the result:
Fabric added last two weeks: 6 1/2 yards
Fabric used last two weeks: 2 1/8 yards
Fabric added year to date: 13 7/8 yards
Fabric used year to date: 22 yards
Net fabric used: 8 1/8 yards
It seems like everytime I take a few steps forward this year, I then take a few steps back. At least I am having a good time doing it :)
