Well - I did even better than I had hoped with finishing some projects and using up stash this week. It definitely helped that Monday was a holiday - even though I was home with the kids, we had an extra one here so the three of them played together and I got lots of time to sew. And I'm really motivated because I have some fabric I REALLY want to order, but I told myself I can't order it I can do so and stay in the black. Since I'll probably want to order at least 6-8 yards, I have to be busy!
I finished 1 fleece blanket for 2.22 yards, 3 flannel blankies for a little over 8 yards, and the Colorful Squares top for 1.67 yards. I think those were all the goals I mentioned last week. Plus, I got the Colorful Squares top quilted, so that is another 1.44 yards. Grand total usage this week is 13.55 yards!
Added this week: 0 yards
Added YTD: 39.15 yards
Used this week: 13.55 yards
Used YTD: 25.83 yards
Net busted: (13.32 yards added)
Unfortunately - all of the add was quilting fabric, while most of the used up is flannel and fleece which tend to go quicker. On the other hand, I did want to reduce the amount of flannel and fleece, so that is still busting that needed to be done. And the fleece especially takes up a lot of room, so getting some of that done and off to a charity that can put it to good use is still a very good thing!
This week I don't think I will have much time for sewing, as I have several things for church that need to be done, plus my first exam for this semester on Thursday. And the projects up next won't result in much usage - I want to get the binding done on the Colorful Squares, and complete the ripping and resewing on the strips for the No-Name quilt. I do have two fleece pieces cut and ready for sewing - maybe I will try to sneak one in just so I can have something to report next week!
