Stash Report Sunday 7/3/16

It's hard to believe that we are past the half-way point for 2016. This seems like a good time to evaluate my stash-busting efforts so far this year. My fabric goals for the year are the same as they have been for the last three years--use at least 100 yards of fabric, and use more than I add to the stash. I just looked back at my end-of-the-year stash reports from the last 3 years. 2015 was the only year where I was successful at both goals, using 167 yards and adding 150. I am currently on track to finish in the black for this year, but far behind last year's total usage. It's time for a few finishes!

I did not add any fabric this week, and used some on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks, plus I even gave some away. (That was hard for me!) Here are my current RSC blocks.
