Stash Report 1/22/12

Not much sewing or quilting done as I was poorly a few days - still a tiny bit under the weather. Used a fat quarter's worth of pieces to make two Just Take 2 blocks. Bought 2 yards of fabric from Connecting Thread for my Promises and Borders BOM. Used a yard for the back of a charity quilt. So here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 1.25 yards
Used/Donated YTD: 7.21 yards
Added/Bought this week: 2.00 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 2.00 yards
--------------------------------
Net YTD 5.21 yards

So I'm behind already by a little more than a 3/4s of a yard. Could be worse. How are you doing? Go on over and see how others are doing at Judy's Patchwork Times. Her button is on my sidebar. Have a quilty week!

Applique Thursday and More Late 1/19/12

Spent thursday coughing and sneezing and not much quilting, I'm afraid.  So here's a book I longingly go through now and then, dreaming of when I'm going to make some of these lovelies:

What are you working on? - applique or other wise.  Sure could use some eye candy to get me through the day.

WIP Wednesday 1/18/12

Arrghhhh!  I made it so many times - sometimes seams 3 times - I just can't foundation piece/paper piece, so that's why I went to regular piecing with this Just Take 2 #8 block. 

I'll have to take a class or something.  I don't seem to have problems when the pieces are odd, but this trying to construct a traditional block just stops me cold.  Ah me - any one have a tutorial for this kind of block?

Go see the great works in progress at Esther's blog (button on sidebar) or at freshly pieced.  I know I'll feel better after I do that.
