The weeks keep slipping by so quickly, and suddenly here we are at March. How did that happen? I had a very busy week of quilting, but somehow I didn't manage to get photos of most of my projects. I did get a shot of the backing I pieced for my #5 UFO that is part of our guild's UFO challenge.
The backing fabric is an old favorite flannel from JoAnn's and I wish I had more of it. I used to have several yards, and it has been used to back multiple baby quilts. I had to piece in a chunk at the upper left to make it big enough, and that used up most of my remaining yardage of this fabric.
I'll wait and show you the front of the quilt after I finish the quilting and binding. If you are able to zoom in on the photo, you will see that I've been quilting wavy diagonal lines on this quilt. I'm debating whether I should add more quilting or just call it done and add the binding.
I used 1.625 yards of fabric for this quilt back, and there was no new fabric added this week. That means my stash report is back to showing more fabric used than added for the first time in over a month!
