This was a busy week so not much quilty time. Last Sunday I did piece the backing for Baby Here, loaded it on the frame and quilted it (which is big for me to quilt 2 tops in one weekend). I did get some knitting time in though since I knit on my sweater during lunch and then I also had my toe up sock class. The sock is coming along nicely if I do say so myself.
Without further ado, I used 4 yards for the Baby Here backing, but I added 3 yards because my monthly FQ club package arrived. And as my reward for doing the 5K yesterday, I bought 3 more skeins of sock yarn, plus I also received some lovely yarn from Jill for a Valentine swap. I think yarn is taking place of buying fabric. Eeeekkk!
Here are my numbers:
~ Fabric Used this Week: 4 yards
~ Fabric Used YTD: 23.50 yards
~ Fabric Added this Week: 3.00 yards
~ Fabric Added YTD: 13.50 yards
~ Net Usage: +10.00 yards
Go to Judy’s blog and see how everyone else did this week. Remember next weekend is another quiltathon!
Goals for the Week:
~ Bind Square Dance
~ Bind Baby Here
~ Piece another backing, load on frame & quilt another top
~ Work on Morning Splash (Judy's quilt-along)
~ Work on BOM blocks (Cobblestone Lane-Month 3-finish piecing; Apple Cider Medallion-2 mos.- cut)
~ Continue knitting the foot of my sock (my homework is to complete the foot so we can learn the heel at our next class)

Great post with good numbers, Amy!
Great job - stash and fitness wise. Just got back from a 5k myself - and am thinking rewards as well... We'll see.
Great work!! And I'm ready for the quilt-a-thon!!! Is it a work weekend for your hubby?
Did you take any pics of the quilts on the frame?
Great stashbusting! And I think a 5K definitely deserves a reward. I agree sock yarn is as addictive as lovely fabric. I'm awaiting a box of many sock lovelies from The Loopy Ewe. Good thing I didn't realize I had to do a 5K prior to ordering or I'd never be receiving them. :-)
You've been busy! I will be curious how you like sock knitting. I watch everyone doing it, but I'm not catching that sox pox!!
I'll be watching for the sock progress. . .I've purchased some sock yarn but I just haven't been bitten by the bug yet. . so by the time I get to it I may end up using it for something else. he he he
I'm impressed with the 5K completion. . .and definitely agree that a reward was required.
