Got it Done in April

I'm happy to report I got my three goals done for April.  Here is my third which was #2 on my list and my first block in my NewFO for April:

I'm not going to do the thread work until I find out if I trim it before or after I raw edge applique. Then as I want to do this QAYG, I'll do the sashing as part of that process. So here is what I've picked for May:
1. Make the rest of the blocks for my DGD's quilt (this will be my NBU challenge for May)
2. Start on the next three applique blocks of my three QIPs
3. Piece the next Block Lotto block. ( Lovely Year of Finishes  for May)

BOM on my Design Wall

Working madly to try and get this block done by tomorrow.

Stash Report 4/28/13

A first in a long, long while.  I did buy some fabric from equilter.com.  It came Thursday.   I only count fabric in when I don't have a specific project for it.  This was too pretty to pass its sale price.

A gardener's delight!

and the coordinating stripe

I was busy last week finishing a flimsy for St. Anne's.  This doesn't help my destashing because all that fabric is from the St. Anne's donations.  I did use .25 yards to work on my applique blocks and my bird block, so actually used a tiny bit.  I then decided to straighten one of my  stash shelves. It was the less than a half yard pieces one, and found several pieces to equal 1 yard to donate to the Guild. So here are my numbers:

in 3.5 yds.; out 1.25 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out   38.21 yds.

Donated YTD: 16.34 yds

Net for 2013: out 31.71 yds.
