Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

August Stash Report

Even though I don’t feel at all guilty about the size of my stash because I sew everyday, I do try to turn it over and end each month with less than what I started with.   Storage is a bit of a problem because we don’t plan to stay in this house forever and our next home will be smaller than this one so the stash needs to be continually downsized. I still really like making scrappy quilts in traditional colors and try to make at least one scrappy quilt per month, so progress is being made!

Friends are a bad influence, however and when my sewing group met earlier in the month, someone showed a quilt made from a beautiful Art Gallery fabric.  I am obsessed with coral and HAD to have some for myself.  A few days later, two yards of that fabric arrived on my doorstep along with 15 yards of coordinates to go with it.  I can’t wait to use it and already have plans—after I finish a few quilts in progress!

The only other purchase for this month was for the baby quilt I made last week and already gifted.

In August I only started two quilts, the aforementioned baby quilt and one other small one, and finished six.  I’m really happy about that!

End of August Stash Report:
Purchased this month: 22 yards
Purchased YTD: 108 yards
Used this month: 40 yards
Used YTD: 173 yards
Net Out of Stash: 65 yards

These numbers are acceptable to me and show that I am slowly using up stash.  I should be able to keep it up for September because four quilts are just waiting for binding.

Linking up with all the other stash reports at Patchwork Times.

    You’re where I am, slowly working it down. That new fabric is beautiful!

    It sounds like a pretty big bite out of the stash this year! Love your coral fabrics, though. =)
