Design Wall Monday

This one came off my wall last night. I do have the first 5 blocks to Freckeld Whimsy's Charm Pack Quilt Along up but I haven't found the camera from last night. Head over to Judy's and see all the other Design Walls.

Week 32

Fabric In This Week: 0 yards
Fabric In This Year: 85.75 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 7.959 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 89.345 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.

Week 31

Fabric In This Week: 0 yards
Fabric In This Year: 85.75 yards

Fabric Out This Week: 1.083 yards
Fabric Out This Year: 81.386 yards

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.

Week 30

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!

Design Wall Monday

So this WAS on my design wall this morning. I had the pink border on and the 2 blue side borders ready to sew on. I finished it today and photo'd it in the front yard.

This is Judy Sisneros new class Batik Blast. I got into the class Thursday night, the supply list on Friday afternoon and took the class Saturday morning. When I started pulling the fabric from my stash I didn't know it was supposed to be Batiks. I didn't want to buy fabric so I went with what I had.

All I gotta say is DANG!!! I was so close to 75 yards total.

The good news is that I am still working on my gym bag, yoga bag and shoe bag for my Pole Fitness class that starts Wednesday night. I also was able to take Batik Blast by Judy Sisneros this last Saturday. I still need to cut 2 sets of borders for my quilt top. I am also ahead on my block a day project. I will be able to make the 75 mark this week. I am hoping to be in the positive with in 2 weeks.

I have made a few things in the last few weeks. I was able to make a Boston Red Sox quilt for a friend and 3 other pillow cases.

This week I am working on Binding the last Cherry Quilt and then making a few bags for the fitness class I am starting in a week and a half. I want a bag for my shoes, clothes and yoga mat. Making all of that I should be able to bust 4 yards of fabric. Also I started my own block a day project out of my scraps. It only bust about 1/4 yard a week but I am reducing my scraps!
