Another 9-inch block for the stack. I actually was awake until about 3:30 this morning thinking of possible layouts for some of these blocks. I know I can get at least five large bed sized quilts out of them all, and then the wall hangings. I would love to start pulling blocks and seeing just how they can be used. Of course the topic of conversation today has been, "now what are you going to do with them all?" Although there is still a lot of work to these blocks getting them all "put together," a lot of the work is already done, and it doesn't seem so impossible with that part behind me. Of course there is always the question of sashing (pieced or plain), borders (pieced or plain), one-color quilts, two-color quilts, or every color quilts, how big or small do you go, do you stay with one size block or mix them up. See why I couldn't sleep last night?! Oh yes, I almost forgot, this is number 365 of 366!!!!!!
Stash Report....

Used year to date: 10 yards
Added to this week: 10.5 yards
Added to year to date: 118.0 yards
Net used for 2012: -107.50
So it has been since OCTOBER that I did a stash report and to be honest I just gave up on it and started buying fabric at a crazy rapid rate, throwing all caution to the wind and just purchasing whatever I wanted (I'm kidding, but I'm trying to see if you are still reading at this point). It was just too boring not ever putting anything in the "used column." I know I have used at least 16 yards of background fabric alone on my blocks this year, but since I am not counting it until it is a finished quilt, it isn't added. So, I am here and now saying that I am going to use up a LOT of fabric in 2013, and I am going to keep track very carefully of what comes in and what is used. I am not saying that I will not purchase any fabric, but if you know of any good deals between tonight and tomorrow, let me know. :) You can see what the others have listed for their stash reports here...or join us in 2013 if you want to keep track of yours too. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen
