I missed a week on the stash report because I was out of town last weekend, enjoying a visit with family in Wisconsin. Surprisingly enough, we didn't visit any quilt shops while I was there, even though my sister is also a quilter. However, we did go to a quilter's estate sale one afternoon. I was able to show some restraint and only bought one piece of fabric there.
The main stash addition happened after I returned home. I received a kit that I ordered from Keepsake Quilting during a recent sale. I got 12 yards of fabrics, most in the kit plus additional yardage of one of them.
The batiks are from the "Black and Hue" line by Anthology Fabrics. The black on the right end is a solid. They are all meant to be used together to make the Stella Nova quilt, pictured in the following photo. Don't fall in love with it because it doesn't seem to be available anymore. This may be one of the rare times that I actually make a quilt as designed for the kit, rather than changing things up as I usually do.
There was a little bit of usage over the past two weeks, although nowhere near as much as the stash additions. I used 1 yard for the yellow and gold Charm Basket blocks, shared in THIS POST. I also used another yard for the two Flying Geese projects shared in yesterday's post HERE.

Lovely assortment of fabrics, and the quilt design is really striking.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous quilt, the fabrics are so pretty. Sounds like you had a nice visit with your family and didn't do too badly on the stash management end of things. Hopefully you can catch up on the stitching front a bit this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making the time to stitch even while you were out and about. That quilt is gorgeous! I was tempted to get it too.
