Week Two - Stash Report

Finally!!!!  I finished the binding on the Rocket Man Quilt this week, and also used fabric.  It was the first time in a month that I actually sat at the sewing machine and enjoyed myself!  This weeks report::

Added:  0 yards
Used:  4.25 yards
YTD Added:  0 yards
YTD Used:  4.25 yards
Stash used:  4.25 yards

I am working on UFO #6.  I took a class about six years ago to learn how to needle turn applique.  I finished the four blocks at that time, but did nothing with them.  They were #6 on the list and out they have come.  Instead of making the wall hanging - I have taken the blocks and assembled them and added six borders - and it will become a baby quilt for donation.  I'm pleased - no picture yet, but soon.  I want to sandwich it today and then I will start hand quilting.  I found enough flannel for four baby quilts in my stash, so yesterday when I was cutting the batting, I cut the batting for those baby quilts.  I'll be ready to hand quilt for weeks now!!

I'm also doing the monochromatic quilt challenge.  I wasn't thrilled with yellow - thinking I don't have any yellow.  Well, when I went through the stash, I have more than enough yellow to make a quilt top - I think a twin size.  I am going to use Bonnie Hunter's Stash X pattern - it should use a lot of the scraps up and it will make a bright cheerful quilt.  Thanks, Judy!!!  :)

Check out Judy's blog to see how we are all doing!  I'm with Judy - she'd like to be knitting on her scarf, and I'd like to be knitting on my socks!    Ah, so many projects, so little time...........   See you next week!
