First yeah me!!! Two weeks in a row with NO fabric purchase! I know I will be adding to my fabric on Week 19. I am making a trip to Solvang and I am spending one day shopping with the purpose of stopping at 3 shops in one day. I am hoping to be at 60 yards busted before I leave so it wont look so bad.

This week I gave a fat quarter to a friend that needed some cow print I had. I also started Judy's New Stash Buster Quilt, I need to work some more on that. It looks like I am needing to purchase about a half yard to do it BUT the rest, twin size, will come from scraps and stash!

How are you doing on your Stash Busting? Anyone trying Scrap Therapy?

Fabric Busted this week: 24.458 yards
Fabric Busted this year: 65.332 yards

Total Busted: 51.499 yards

I am going to admit that I did donate 20 yards from my stash to my quilt guild's philanthropy group. I am counting it because it is busted from my stash! I am working on OPAW on my other blog so I should be able to bust some extra fabric with that. Maybe I will hint my 100 yards busted by the time we get half way through the year.
