Got serious about destashing and attacked a box that has been so long in my way. I put it in my way, so I'd do something with it. Didn't work - has been in that spot almost a year, but finally I got to it, and I made 6 test string blocks from it. You can read about it here and here . Oh, I did make a couple of charity quilts from this box when I first got it, but although they turned out 36" square, they used a miniscule amount of strings. I swear they multiply at night! As I rummaged I did find 1.35 yards to make a Christmas quilt - Woohoo, but the rest is going to be donated to another group that makes charity quilts, so there goes 6 yards of fabric in one copy paper box. Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 7.35 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 94.19 yards
Added/Bought last week: 2.0 yards batiks from a friend (not gift but purchase with batting)
Added/Bought YTD: 35.5 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD: 58.69 yards Woohoo! I'm ahead of my goal by almost seven yards.

Wow! You're doing a fabulous job of stash busting! That's got to feel *really* good! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stash busting. Congrats on being ahead of your goal for the year.
ReplyDeleteGreat stash numbers. I may have to take your approach and load of a box to donate. It's faster than trying to sew up quilts to donate- :).
ReplyDeleteIt was a good week for strings!
