And then I needed the setting fabric, borders, and backing for my quilt from Alycia's site, and I also bought some backing for my bricks and stepping stones blocks. Uh oh--that made 20 yards more to the stash! So in one week I added 20.5 yards to the stash. That makes -28 yards for the year! But Judy, the stash report really makes me THINK before I buy, so I'm not feeling bad about the purchases. And when you think about it, one queen size quilt (my favorite size) will use about 20 yards of fabric, so I'm only 1 1/2 quilts behind!

I have no excuse.
But what the heck--I loved every minute of it! And I boosted the economy of my local quilt shop!
1 1/2 Quilt behind...oh, my...it would take me years to get caught up! But you? Probably could get caught up during just one blizzard! I hope you are having a good weekend. ~Natalie
I like the way you think!
Good rationale. Plus, you should always look on the positive side....fabric shopping keeps you off the streets and out of the bars!!
more stash enhancement should be filling your mailbox on monday.
enjoy!
Isn't it weird how fast it adds up when you buy, but it seems to take so long to use it?
I ain't counting. you saw those tubs in my garage!!
I have to agree with you. Reporting sure makes me think before buying ANYTHING! It's a good thing to not buy it just because though. I need to have a specific project in mind and I have to have already looked in my stash for the fabric before buying anything new. It helps!
If you buy it with a plan in mind, surely it doesn't really count? It is those spur of the moment purchases with no particular plan (or required yardage) in mind that gets me every time! I definately shop with a list in hand and it sounds like you do too! Cheers! Evelyn
