The first stash report for 2018. What with working on two baby tops, the next hexies for Bliss, some secret blocks, a sampler block, a small pillowcase and the last of my log cabins, I used up 2.03 yds last week. My new YTD use is therefore 2.03 yards out. I've set an arbitrary goal of 2 yards a week out - that way I'll make my 100+ yards in a year. A tad over this week. I hope to continue that performance in the coming weeks. How did you do?
For Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch report, I sewed at least 15 every day of the week, so my total is 6 days (since the year started on a Monday) out of 365 so far.
For Slow Sunday Stitching, I've cut the first group of four hexies for the next round (it took me hours to decide what fabrics to use), and now I'll be dissecting three of them to add design elements.
That ruler is what I use to cut the curvy bits. I want to thank all of you for your suggestions in my last post of what fabric to use next . I auditioned all of them, but they weren't just what I was looking for. I should mention that this is a large quilt (around 58" x 72") so have a ways to go. And I'm still enjoying the challenge of making these unique hexies. Once I finish prepping them, I'll hand stitch them while I watch another episode of The Crown.

I've Been Somewhat Busy
It's been a quilty week - two projects I can't even show you because they're just off the germ stage at this point. I did work on my scrap bag quilts.
I'm linking to Amanda Jean's Finish it Up Friday, Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?, Myra's Finished Or Not Fridays , and Jennifer's Wednesday Wait Loss. Do go by and see all the lovely postings. Blessings.
Got this 30" top done by adding two borders. Sorry for the poor photo. Hope to quilt it soon.
This second quilt from the scrap bag just needs borders now. Think I'll add two and miter the last one. We'll see. It will be a 36" one for St. Anne's. Probably another member will assemble and quilt it.
Got another 6 done! Working on the last 6 now and I did have enough fabric (will be scrappier blocks than these). May sprinkle them among the others to see if they blend in.
Here's a project I forgot to update in my 2017 review. Made 4 blocks in 2017! 40% done now - woohoo.
Last, but not least, stitched my circle of curvy hexies to its center. I like how the purple makes that circle shape. However, I haven't a clue what to use next (fabric-wise). Any suggestions?I'm linking to Amanda Jean's Finish it Up Friday, Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop Whoop?, Myra's Finished Or Not Fridays , and Jennifer's Wednesday Wait Loss.

Some of This; Some of That
First the last stash report of 2017. Used 1.12 yards in making two baby quilt tops, scraps for my Bliss hexagons, and a border on a baby quilt top. My total for the year is 75.71 yds destashed. Shy about 25 yards but a lot better than I expected. So with today, I'm back to zero destashed for 2018. I've been hand sewing and I can finally say I've finished all the curved hexagons for my Bliss round. Yesterday, I hand stitched some of the hexies to my center. It will be my hand stitching project for the week. Here's the ring with only one seam not made - easier to sew onto the center that way.
I'm linking to Lynn's BOMs Away , Judy H's Design Wall Monday and Beth's Monday Making. Go take a peek. Happy New Year!

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...
