2021 Quilt Collage
The best I can tell, I made twenty-two projects this year, from coasters to a twin quilt. Here they are, in no particular order.
An eclectic group, with the Star Wars baby quilts remaining popular.
We’ll have to see what 2022 brings!
Sunday Stash Report: 1/2/2022
Here’s my final report from 2021.
I quilted my turquoise version of Charlotte Hawke’s 2021 mystery quilt, Scrappy 4 Patch Stars. (Here’s the Christmas version.)
I also sewed 8 blocks for Kat’s Covered in Love block drive. Some are better than others, but I tried.
- This week: + 0 yards, – 8.5 yards
- This year: +69 yards, – 115.75 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 46.75 yards
I was hoping to use 50 yards, and this came very close. Importantly, I added new fabrics to my Stash and used older ones, including scraps. I’ll show all those projects in a few days.
How did you do?
Here’s hoping that 2022 is better us all and we all complete lots of projects with that Stash.
Sunday Stash Report: 12/19/2021
This week I got off on a side track making coasters from Christmas scraps. I used 1.75 yards to make 16 coasters.
- This week: + 0 yards, – 1.75 yards
- This year: +69 yards, – 107.25 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 38.25 yards
Creeping up, but there’s not much left of the year. Sometimes I get in a lot of sewing between Christmas and New Year’s, so we’ll see.
Stay safe and sew your stash.
Sunday Stash Report 12/5/2021
Here’s one I haven’t shown you. It was a custom order that I finished at the beginning of November so that it would get to Canada in a timely way. And it did. Whew.
It used about 12.5 yards.
The Christmas Star quilt used about 6.5 yards.
- This week: + 0 yards, – 19 yards
- This year: +69 yards, – 105.5 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 36.5 yards
Will I make it to 50 yards? Hmmm.
Sew on!
Christmas Stars Quilt
Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted! I had a couple aches and pains that kept me away from the sewing machine for a while. Then DS and DiL were here for two weeks before Thanksgiving (yay!). So I finally got back to it this week and wrapped up this fun Christmas project.
The non-traditional fabrics were a departure for me, and I really enjoyed them. I like how fresh and crinkly this turned out.
I hope you’re finding time to sew or be with family.
Design Wall Monday
Beginning of a twin size commission. Back, binding, and appliques are made. Hopefully it will come together quickly! These are 9 inch blocks.

No new fabric! (Yet!)
And this week I sewed a dozen napkins, two bowl cozies, and two pot holders for my son and daughter-in-law.
- This week: + 0 yards, – 4 yards
- This year: +69 yards, – 86.5 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 17.5 yards
I’ve accepted a commission, though, for a twin quilt, so the fabric will be rolling in. Ah, well.
Take care!
Sunday Stash Report: 10/03/21
My sewing machine is back! That should help the fabric outflow.
All those scraps I cut made up into twenty blocks for Kat’s Covered in Love drive for September and October using 2.5 yards.
Also I discovered when I folded the Christmas fabric that I had over counted it by 2 yards. That helps!
- This week: + -2 yards, – 2.5 yards
- This year: +69 yards, – 82.5 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 13.5 yards
Hope the cool weather is helping you use your stash!https://katandcatquilts.blogspot.com/2021/08/sept-oct-covered-in-love-block-drive.html
Sunday Stash Report 9/26/2021
As promised, new Christmas fabric has arrived!
Also, I never subtracted the fabric from the String Quilt. It won’t help enough.
- This week: + 16.5 yards, – 6.5 yards
- This year: +71 yards, – 80 yards
- Net fabric destashed/
addedthis year: 9 yards
Ah, well, when my machine finally returns I’m ready to sew up a storm!
