Stash report 2/20/11

Was busy all week with fabric, but not anything to report about.  Finished another secret block, but it only took about 1/8 yard of pieces from my stash so the numbers haven't changed much.  At least I didn't add to the pile!
Used/Donated this week: .13 yards

Used/Donated Yr to date: 11.72 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -3.5 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used 8.37 yards.
Over at PatchworkTimes, Judy has posted the state of her stash and let others also do so. Check it out.

A Bump in the Road.

There has been a bump in the road to moving forward in the Quilt-Along.  DH wants the federal tax info by Mar 1 so I'm going to have to set the next step on the back burner while I get that Schedule C done.  Hope sooner than later. For those who may need to get their QAYG done now, adding borders is the same as adding a row, but I add all four before I quilt them.  It's easy as they are on the edge.  Then I bind by cutting off the excess batting and bringing the backing forward and folding in half and sewing it down as the binding.  Pictures to come.

In the meantime - I won the blocks at our Guild for the Scrappy Orphan Posie Block!  Now I have 13 of them to play with - another UFO!  LOL.

Design Wall Monday 2/14/11

Have a few more of my strips blocks added to my wall.  The boat is reminding me of the Greek boats when I went on an island cruise of the Greek Isles in 94.  And the strip blocks around it too remind me of the tiles I would see on walls in Constantinople.  Have 4 blocks to go.  It will be 24" square at that point.  I'll add a border of the same material surrounding the boat and then 3" blocks around to make it 34" square when done.  A different kind of baby quilt.
