I am excited to be almost to 10 yards!!! I will be over 10 yards this next week no problem!

I sorta finished a UFO from 2003 this past week. I took a photo today and realized that I pieced one of the boarders wrong. So this week I will be taking it off and fixing it. I will also be able to bust a few yards piecing the back this week. It wont be quilted for awhile but it will be ready when it is time.

Total Fabric Busted This Year: 5.845 yards

I am on my way to my goal of 78 yards Busted For The Year. So I have a ways to go.

My bust isn't anything impressive. I gave some fabric to my friend Jennifer, 14 scrap blocks were made and I got borders on my Charm Square Quilt. I did buy a yard for that but it is already cut and half on my quilt. So not counting it in or out.

Fabric Out This Week: 7.959 yards

Total Fabric Busted This Year: 3.595 yards!!!

FINALLY!!!! I am back into the positive. This week I pieced a quilt back and cut a twin size top. ALL from my stash. The one quilt I need to finish quilting the borders and I am about half way of the twin top.

Doing the stash busting the last 2 years I have learned what colors I don't need to buy because I don't use them. I have learned what colors I use most. And you can never go wrong buying tone on tones.

Head over to Judy's to see everyones busting efforts.

Total Fabric Busted This Year: -4.364 yards

Okay I didn't bust as much as I wanted too. I did get 2 tops finished. I am hoping to quilt at least one of them this week. Which will bust more yardage. My current goal is to be in the positive by Labor Day. I should be able to do it.

I was also able to be totally caught up on Freckled Whimsy's Charm Pack Quilt Along. I am now waiting for the next step. I am ahead on my block a day project. I have 31 blocks made. I am not making a dent in my scraps. I am thinking it will be more than 42 blocks.

Fabric In This Week: 5 yards
Fabric In This Year: 85.75 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 5.333 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 80.303 yards

Total Busted This Year: -5.447 yards

I was doing REALLY good until Saturday. Then I bought the 5 yards. I did get both pieces of fabric on sale, so that helps. I bought 3.5 yards of Tarragon Kona for Freckled Whimsy's Charm Pack Quilt Along. I also bought 3 charm packs but I don't count them in or out. Plus I start 2 weeks behind and I am almost caught up! The charm packs I got are Moda's Basic Grey Origins, it is VERY funky! The other 1.5 yards is a batik for a border on Hole In My Role. I have the strips but I need a bigger quilt.

My goal for this next week is to be at only -2 yards. Wish me luck!
