Stashbusting Report 2013-01-20 - A day (or two) late and a yard (or five) short

Well, not only am I late posting, I have almost wiped out last week's progress.  But I had a $40 COUPON (from a loyalty card that I filled up).  And I NEEDED some red/pink fabric for a small (6" x 6") gift I want to make.  CLEARLY that justifies buying 8.75 yards, right?  RIGHT?  ;-)

Here is the red/pink fat quarter bundle that will be just perfect for what I am working on:

The rest - 2 yards of a beautiful blue swirl, 2 yards of Kona white, 1 yard of a pretty green batik, 2.5 yards of various red/purple batiks - is already being washed.  And now I have a plan for the blue and white, except I'm going to need about 2 more yards of each.  Better get busy sewing so at least I can be at net zero again when I make it over to the quilt store (which, thankfully, isn't on the way to anywhere I regularly go)!

Added this week: 8.75 yards
Added YTD: 9.25 yards

Used this week: 2.75 yards (flannel for two blankies - will post those separately)
Used YTD: 9.90 yards

Net bust: .65 yards (whew - at least I didn't quite mess it up!)
