Fabric Tuesday 10/11/11

My fabric story this week is on the crumb along blocks I'm making along with all the others at Jo's crumb along.  You can see her progress by going to her website .  I thought I would be emptying those crumb drawers lickety split.  Not so - seems I make more crumbs as I go.  I've got to learn to let go!!  Also the smaller the crumbs I use the thicker the intersections become.  This quilt is going to definitely be done by machine.  Here are my latest 9 blocks I made since last tuesday.  This week we were suppose to make blocks with trianges.  Ithink I managed to put at least one triangle in seach of these.

Design Wall Monday 10/10/11

I have to keep working on my UFOs!, but they're too bulky to be on my design wall.  Here's a charity quilt I have cut out that I hope to start this week.  Just a simple block design zig zagging across the quilt.

Stash Report 10/9/11

Was I busy last week?!  This week will be way more calm, but it does start with a dental appointment - ay ya yai!  Seems I have a loose implant - not good.  On the stash front.  I use a 1/4 yard to bind a charity quilt, and a half yard of crumbs to make 7 crumb blocks.  Then I culled 4 1/2 yards from my stash of fabric I'm sure not to use, so my total for the week is 5.38 yards gone from the stash.  Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 5.38 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 90.63yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -12 yards
-----------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Used: 78.63 yards

Almost near 80 yards!  Maybe I will make 100.
