But it's not as bad as it could have been. I ordered 3 bolts, but only got 2 because one was back ordered, darn. And it was a really pretty one, too. But these will do for starters. They are intended as backings for some of the 14, or maybe even more at this point, quilt tops of my own that are waiting for quilting. The autumn leaves one would be perfect for Double Duty, and for a couple of others that are currently just floating around in my head, based on Autumn colours. And the other floral one would be perfect for some of the feminine florally quilt tops I have in the ever growing piles. All of the fabric usage was from the string pieced wedges for Endless Chain. My scrap drawer finally closes. Anyway, here's the numbers for the past week:
Used this week: 1.9 yards
Used this year: 13.8 yards
Purchased this week: 30 yards
Purchased this year: 57 yards
Balance: 43.2 yards more in than out.
I think maybe I'd better get working on getting some of those tops quilted. I'm, linking up to Judy's weekly Stash Report linky at Patchwork Times
Sounds like you have plans for all the beautiful fabric you bought. Backings use a lot of yards so I am sure your numbers will be more out than in soon.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I *love* your stash reports!!! That leaf fabric is gorgeous ... can't wait until your back ordered yardage comes in! :)
ReplyDeleteThose backings are necessary...you definitely need a few bolts of fabric!
