Stitching and DeStashing--Week 23, 2021

When I sat down to write my stash report for the past week, I didn't think there would be much to report. It feels like I spent most of the week trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to figure out what color scheme to use for a new quilt-along. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked back at my info from earlier in the week to discover that I used two yards for the sashing and border pieces on my Moda Blockheads quilt top.

I also used 5/8 yard for my lavender and purple Homespun blocks, which were shared in yesterday's post. That brings my stash usage so far this year up to just over 100 yards! That used to be my usage goal for a whole year. Retirement has had an enormous impact on my quilting!

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. I have been pulling lots of fabrics, making sample blocks, then pulling different fabrics to make more sample blocks. That has led to much more than 15 minutes of quilting every day.

15 Minute Challenge for 2021: 

5/30 - 6/5                  7 of 7 days

2021 Total           155 of 156 days
