Well,,, I did it. Bought 6 yards of Kona Cotton Solide from Hobby Lobby. The closest one is 45 miles away. But I bought them online - less temptation you see - hah! They had free shipping and 40% off and I needed white. I bought banana - don't ask me why -??? It's already come so I have to count it.
On the plus side, and despite burnt fingers, I did manage to use/donate some yardage: Used 1 1/3 yards for the back of that VA quilt. Pulled another 2 2/3rds for the next VA quilt. Used a fat eighth of scraps for a Log Cabin blk. Donated 2.5 yards (a Santa Panel and 1.5 matching fabric), and 5.42 yards of fabric for LQG thrifty corner. I also used up about a fat quarter of fabric on my Forget Me Not block and 1.75 yards for Anna's Garden [A reminder - I count it out of stash when I've removed it from the stash and cut into it. From then on, it's in my working pile].
Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 14.36 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 85.34 yards
Added/Bought last week: 6.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 33.5 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD: 51.84 yards Woohoo! I'm past my 50 yard goal for the half year!! and still have all of this coming week to up the numbers.

I didn't know that Hobby Lobby offered free shipping. I will have to watch for that. The Kona solids come in handy. You were able to put quite a bit of your stash to use this week. And your reached your goal. Congratulations!
