This week I used about three yards to make these donation blocks for Kat, and I didn’t buy any new fabric.

• This week: + 0 yards, – 3 yards
• This year: +54.5 yards, – 73.5 yards
• Net fabric destashed/added this year: 19 yards

Enjoy your season!

The first eight 12″ donation blocks are ready for Kat’s Covered With Love July/August block drive. I usually piece the centers, but I found odd bits of fabric that wanted to be in the middle.

I generated enough 2.5″ squares to start using as leaders and enders, so next year’s will have 16-patch centers!

Remember years ago when bloggers were taking the Process Pledge to show more than just their finished quilts?

This last quilt made quite a journey from the first concept (and possible use as a baby quilt) to the finished product. Using the design wall was essential to seeing the progress and making changes. Sometimes even more important were the (poorly lit phone) photos I took along the way.

And finally!

This past two weeks I used seven and a half yards when I completed the Christmas version of the mystery, and I bought two yards of fabric.

• This week: + 2 yards, – 7.5 yards
• This year: +54.5 yards, – 67 yards
• Net fabric destashed/added this year: 12.5 yards

This quilt used really old scraps and yardage, too, so it seems like a double win!

Keep sewing your stash!

While waiting on backing fabric for the wall hanging, I’ve been quilting the Christmas mystery quilt. Only the borders are left!
