Finally picked a background for my Whimsical Quilt Garden, so that took care of 2 yards out of my stash. I also worked on figuring a quilt block posted on a yahoo group that turned out to be Cleopatra's Fan for another 1/4 yard. Here are my numbers:
in 0.0 yds.; out 2.25 yds.
Stash YTD: in
3.0 yds., out
29.58 yds.
Donated this week: 0.0 yds; YTD: 8.09 yds
Net for 2013: out 26.58 yds.
While it doesn't look it - I'm near a third of my goal which is right on target to meet my goal at the end of the year. And not much so far is donations - woo hoo! Now have to find something for next week that will use up/ give away at least two more yards.
How are you doing on your de-stashing? I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times to see how others are doing.
Oh, and here is the baby quilt I had to quilt last week - all done and ready to be chosen by one of the new mothers:
I think this 100% cotton fabric was meant to be a tablecloth for a party. I cut it in half and added two rows at the top to make it a row quilt. Then quilted it.
It's not a fancy quilting job, but I tried to reflect the front and do some free motion quilting. I did draw vertical lines in the center - used a new pen that will iron out when you are done quilting. I was able to bring the flannel back forward to make the binding.
What a cute little baby quilt! I'd choose it if I had a baby - which I don't - and I'm glad!!!
