Stash report

It's a good thing I made these pillow cases to compensate for the shopping I did today. All 3 pillowcases were made with backing scraps for the quilt they will hold when they leave my house. Melissa's eye-spy quilt goes in the top case. The patriotic string charity quilt goes into case #2 and Liz's as yet unquilted I-spy quilt goes into case #3. Notice the rick-rack; I hope it's manly enough for the boys. Besides zippers I have rick-rack that NEEDS to be USED!I'm guestimating here but that looks like about 31/4 yards to me. A quick easy way to use up some of that fabric. I've found some other pieces I could use as pillowcases to participate in the 'Million Pillowcase Challenge.' Our local Quilt Shop is collecting and donating pillow cases to MDAnderson, a big cancer fighting hospital in Houston that our son went to.

Here's the charity quilt I finished and showed this week, but you wouldn't want to have to click on a link would you?
Since I got EQ7 for Christmas and my birthday, AND it came last week, I designed the above quilt in it so I could use the yardage amounts that EQ7 came up with; 23.9 yards. (I added the back.)
I know it doesn't look finished to you but someone else is binding it; if she uses my fabric I'll count it in 2 weeks- my part is DONE.
My sister pointed out that I had given her some fabric and had forgotten to count it in my stash report 2 weeks ago...so 5 yards out to her. She loved my pink scraps and is busy making pink log cabins; just for fun.

I'm sure you worried about me finding fabric to buy for my 'Triangle Madness.' Rest assured that I did my best and managed to buy 1.25 yards for the first border and today I bought 2 yards that I needed for the last and final border! Unfortunately I also found this pretty red on the remnant table...so added another 1.5 yards!

donated, changed: 71 yards

used, changed: 70.40 yards

purchased, changed: 92 yards

You can see that I need to hustle to get my used to 100 before the purchased gets there. :(
But if you add the donated to the used my total would be 141.40 so
net would be 49.40 yards less fabric on my shelves than this time last year.
