There were some Christmas gifts, and some frivolous shopping, and some intentional shopping, so my numbers took a turn for "the worst." I received 10 yards for Christmas (which I ordered for myself. DH does not excel at ordering gifts in a timely fashion, but he does excel at working hard and taking care of plumbing, etc., so I learned to order my own Christmas gift). I bought 5 yards of Christmas fabric for gifts for nieces and nephews next year. I did a spur of the moment, end of the year order of 11 yards, and I would rather count it now at the end of the year than tank the new year's numbers! Finally, there's the buying I've done for a Christmas quilt I'm going to start when the bigs go to Ireland next summer without me. I intended to keep the fabric set aside and coaunt it when I enjoyed it, but, again, I may as well affect the passing year!
So all told...
IN this week: 47 yards
OUT this week: 0 yards
IN YTD: 146 yards
OUT YTD: 142 1/2 yards
YTD Total: 3 1/2 IN
I'm content with my numbers, as I'm being more deliberate with purchases, have gaps still to fill in my stash, and am making a concerted effort not to buy my favorite color, since it makes up roughly 1/5 or more of my stash!

Nothing wrong with getting a favorite color. If it is your favorite, you probably use it often or you may be like me and just fondle it. I personally love 4 colors: black, red, teal, and green. Combinations of these show up in all my quilts!
Sounds like you made some very judicious purchases. I did the same at the end of the year. You have to buy to use. You did a very good job of using up some serious stash this year. Hope you 2017 is even more productive.
