Scrappy Stitching and a Stash Report

There has been lots of scrappy sewing happening in my sewing room this week. I've spent most of the past few days working on "Stars Galore," a very scrappy quilt made from charm squares. This is part of a project by the Common Threads Quilters Guild and the Sharpsburg Piecemakers, with the finished quilts going to a program for homeless veterans. The center is all together and just needs a border added.

There are lots of fun fabrics in this quilt. My favorite is a circus print, which fits in with my past few weeks of working on a stage production of Water for Elephants. You can see one of the costumes I worked on in THIS POST.

The stash report doesn't show any changes over the past week. None of the fabrics in the Stars Galore quilt came from my stash, and none of my other projects are ready to be counted.
