Stash Report 5/29/11

Have some numbers for this week.  I used a yard each for the backs of 3 charity quilts.  Also used about another yard in making my Soldiers' Angels blocks, so that's a total of 4 yards!  Wow, it's great when you need to do backs.
Here are my numbers:
Used this week: 4 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 37.20 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -3.5 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Use:  33.7 yards

Working on the Fourth of Four

Hoped to be farther along on this fourth charity quilt, but had to stop and find a back.  When that didn't happen, knew I'd have to create a back.  Found the rectangle of Asian fabric and a 1/2 yard that seemed to go with it and created the back.  Had to keep adding to make it big enough.  Now that I look at it in the photo (and photos are great for checking how things will look) I've decided the pink is too bright, but I'm not taking it out.  Good news is that this was all from my stash.

Third of the Four

I was going to take this to St. Ann's so another member could finish it by adding the binding. Then I thought "what the heck" after finishing quilting it, and added the binding. I've decided to call this Aegean Travels because the string blocks remind me of the mosaics, tiles and colors of Greece. And when you go there you see there are a lot of sail boats everywhere. I don't know what's up with this photo. It's much richer looking in person. Go here to see a better picture. It was going to be a baby quilt, however, St. Ann's is going to give some smaller lap quilts to seniors in a convalescent facility and they need wheelchair quilts. Thus I made the back more masculine than I first planned. Here it is below.
