Net Used for 2010: 60 yards

This week I am realizing it is a battle to use up stash and not ultimately keep adding stash positively on the net figure!  What a revelation, huh.  I started this year trying not buy at all until I really made a dent, silly me. The joy of new fabric is so fun. So, I am hoping to pick up the pace the rest of year to get rid of more older fabrics so I can be working on the new. Actually, all year I keep throwing in quilts with the new purchases, while I plug away on unfinished UFO's. So, on I go. I got lots of Kona cotton white this week and some pretty batik neutrals, and black and white prints for an upcoming quilt. My using side this week was for finishing a backing and binding on a batik brown and yellow sunflower quilt. I did Bonnie Hunt's 10 inch square method for piecing the back with the leftovers from the quilt.

Here are some pics of the Giraffe Hide panto ( Wildflower Quilting Designs) on blue minky  for the safari baby quilt, and a Baptist Fan panto (my auto sketch) for another scrappy baby quilt. Done on the Statler Stitcher.

Photos on June 30, show the quilt top I finished this week. I also bought more fabric to finish the border, and now I have enough to make one more of these which is in process. So, my net/net is the same this week.

I have some tops to get quilted still, so I will add the backing yardage then. 

Happy Fourth of July!  God Bless our Founding Fathers' wisdom and foresight and this greatest nation on God's green earth!
