Lots of stash activity to report this week.
I bought three yards of fabric last Sunday at the quilt shop’s Superbowl sale. You can see what I bought here. I have projects planned for all the fabric, but some will end up in stash because I bought extra. I hate it when I run out!
I also finished the strippy quilt this week. I folded the extra backing to the front and sewed it down with a zigzag stitch instead of attaching a traditional binding.
I’ve never tried this before but I will use it again, especially on drag quilts and charity quilts. It’s a huge time saver. You can see the full quilt here.
I also started a fabric grocery bag. I shop at a few stores that either don’t provide grocery bags or charge for them. This bag will live in the van with another tote bag so I will have them when I need them. The bag used ¾ yard of fabric from stash. You can find the free pattern online here.
My totals for the week are three yards added and 11 ¾ yards used. For the year I am at three yards added and 12 yards used.
