Stash Report Week #11

 I think it’s a record to finish two quilts in a week.  They were both small, roughly lap sized, but finishes are finishes, right?  One more spool bit the dust, for a total of 10 for the year.  The bee quilt used up a box of scraps, and the quick quilt used up a stack of lovely prints that didn’t quite fit in with the rest of my stash.  My stash is definitely tending to monochromatic or ton-on-tone these days, and these cheerful and loud prints needed a home together.  In the quest to use up the random stacks of “saved” fabrics in my closet, I also spent the weekend cutting up a stack of glow-in-the-dark space-themed fabrics.  They will make another cheerful and quick quilt.  Clearly I’ve exhausted my tolerance for complicated blocks right now; it will come back eventually.

IN this week: 0 yards
OUT this week: 9 3/4 yards

IN YTD: 22 yards
OUT YTD: 53 yards
YTD Total: 31 yards OUT

I missed hand stitching for the first time yesterday, much to my disappointment.  Now at 77 of 78 days for 2022, there’s nothing wrong with my total, but I would have liked to keep my perfect streak a bit longer.  I was tired at bedtime and just forgot.  Oh, well.
