Stash Report Sunday 11/22/15

I thought this would be a week with a good amount of fabric used and none added. Then I realized that there wasn't enough of the fabric I wanted to use for the back of my applique circles quilt. That meant a trip to Joann's for more circle print. Fortunately, I did finish off the back for another quilt and made two batches of blocks.

Usage:
Back for Boston Fiesta           5.0 yards
Green & brown Bowties           .5 yards
Leaf blocks                         1.25 yards



Above is the fabric I used to make the back for my Boston Fiesta quilt (you can see the quilt top HERE.) This is a huge print--the large flowers are about the size of my fist! I had previously pieced a different backing for this quilt, but this was always the fabric I really wanted to use and I decided to just go for it!



Here is the fabric I bought for the back of my applique circles quilt (in progress HERE.) I've been making lots of pieced quilt backs lately, but each of these are made from a single large-scale print. I love the bright colors in this fabric!

TOTALS: 
Used this week:                     6.75 yards     
Used year to date:             155.50 yards

Stashed this week:                  3.0 yards
Stashed year to date:        133.50 yards 

Net year to date:              22 yards used

  1. Beautiful fabrics for backs. Sometimes a pieced back is the right choice and sometimes a solid back is.

  3. Love both backings. You've had a good year on the stash busting front. How many UFOs have you finished off this year?

    1. Very few UFOs have been completely finished, maybe 2, but I have finished making several quilt tops and backs that are now in the to-be-quilted pile.
