Stash Report

Well, I finished four quilts this week! Granted they were just tied, but I did use lots of fabric for backing. Not only did I do that, but I got rid of 3 boxes of fabric to the Lutherans to use for LWR quilts. I have so much fabric, I just need to get rid of it. At this point in time any one that will take it and use it for charity can have the old, unloved stuff that I no longer want. As long as they come to my house and pick it up. Its amazing how much fabric one can amass. And no I didn't measure it all, I weighed one yard, then weighed the rest of the fabric in the piles. Quick and easy! Though 24 yards were used for the backs of those four quilts.

I am very happy that I am getting very close to breaking even, I might have to clean more fabric out!

So here are my totals for this week.

Purchases this week 0.0 yds
Purchases YTD: 256.5 yards

Used this week: 90.0 yards
Used YTD: 187.5 yards

Running Total 69.0 yards in the red

Vintage Quilt Pieces







I can never pass up vintage quilt block sets. They are even harder to pass up with you get EACH set of quilt blocks for $1.50 a set. There are 25 Dresden Plates, 12 18 inch cross stitch blocks, 20 basket blocks, and 12 Applique/Embroidered blocks. The patterns she gave me since I bought the quilt blocks. She said her grandmother made them, and they all date to the 30's except for the Cross Stitch blocks which are probably in the last 20 years. It was a good buy!

Sometimes I take good photo's sometimes not, in this post you can see the mixture!
