The was lots and lots of sewing going on this past week, but most of it had been counted already. I can add to my used totals 20 of the border units for Three of a Kind, which is now finished. There's a picture of it here. I am, at the moment, seriously stumped as to what to do next. I have one more quilt that I want to get finished. But I've been working on finishes all year. The last new thing I started was the one I just finished, and that was back at the beginning of January. Since the I have kept my startitis condition strictly under control. But I'm weakening....... I just might start cutting some fun stuff for something new for a week or two, before getting back into finish mode. Maybe, just maybe, ther'll be something new and fun on the design wall tomorrow........
Used this week: .25 yards
Used this year: 47.75
Added this week: 0 yards
Added this year: 47 yards
Net used: .75 yards
Unless I do some hyper piecing, or do up some backings, that net used number is going to disappear in the next week or two. I ordered some McKenna Ryan fabrics for her pattern True Nature. I started off with the shopping cart at Batiks Plus full of almost all the fabrics needed for this quilt. When I started the check out process I nearly feel over at the total, so I began again. What I ended up ordering are the backgrounds for the blocks. After looking at the blocks closely, I decided that it is the backgrounds that give this quilt its character. Take a look at the McKenna Ryan fabrics on that site and you'll see what I mean. I can fill in the rest of the pieces from my current stash. There is other stuff I can order later, if I want, but one of the backgrounds was already out of stock, therefore, I ordered it while I could. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm going to kink up to Judy's Stash Report, and then I think I'll play for a while.
Beautiful finish on Three of a Kind!
