Week 1 Stash Report

It's a new year and, therefore, the first stashbusting report. I've been pulling fabrics to make the HeartStrings Happy Blocks and while doing that found a bunch of FQs that have been sitting in the closet for several years. I decided to use some of them rather than putting them back in the closet. Plus I started making the block party blocks for our online group. You can see pictures of all three projects here. Used this week - 7.5 yards! A wonderful start for me.

Although I didn't order this week, I did receive some backing fabric that I ordered the day after Christmas and the January FQ bundle also arrived. Added this week - 6 yards. The backing fabric will be used this coming week though so it will be coming right back out!

My numbers to date:

Fabric Added: 6 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 6 yards

Fabric Used: 7.5 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 7.5 yards

Net Used: +1.5 yards

Those automatic shipments are a killer! LOL. But don't you love them! Good stashbusting week!

You're doing good. You're still in positive territory. My thoughts are . . if there's something that really brings you pleasure and you look forward to receiving it, do it! It's more that indiscriminate buying that I need to stop.

Those are some great projects you are working on. I think if you ordered the fabric the day after Christmas, you should get to count it on last year, even if it didn't get to you til this year. :-)

Your "boys" are GORGEOUS! I enjoyed looking over your blog. It's fun to see what different people are working on. Good luck stashbusting!

I bought fabric too, mainly for backing but I'd intended to make another I spy type quilt while I had my novelties out but I think I'm ready to move on.
