Stash Report and Stitching Time 12/28/2025

It was a surprise when I sat down to write my blog post today and discovered that I didn't post a stash report last Sunday. I can't even remember what kept me from posting last week, just holiday busy-ness I guess. But I'm back today, and it's the last Sunday of 2025.

Improv Alphabet, 53.25" x 55.75"

My stash report shows fabric both coming in and going out. The usage side has 4.5 yards used in my Improv Alphabet quilt top, shown above, which I was very pleased to finish last week. You can read more about it in my post HERE.


While working on the alphabet quilt, I remembered a set of blocks I made a few years ago for another alphabet quilt called Spell It with Fabric, a free pattern available from the Fat Quarter Shop. I first blogged about that project HERE. The blocks are all made and have been waiting patiently, but I was never quite satisfied with my border fabric. Last week I ordered another option for the border, which I think will be much better. That's the grey piece in the photo below. The lime green prints are part of a single piece of fabric that will be divided into four different fat quarters. Total added to the stash was 4 yards.

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 missed one day in the last two weeks, but managed to get at least a little quilting time every other day, and I'm very happy with my numbers for the year.
