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.

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