Stash Busting week 11

Okay, I changed my numbers!!

Stash - 168 1/8
Old Stash Counted - 0

Fabric Added - 2 yrds
Fab. added YTD - 15 1/8

Fabric used - 6 1/2 yrds
Fab. used YTD - 22 1/2

Total Stash Count - 164 yrds


(I counted the Stash project with borders because they will be on this week, and I just fudged it with the fractions... so I am going to leave it as 164 yrds stash. I am getting better at the math, but it's not always easy for me......) But I do have pictures!!




Judy's Stash Buster!! It works up very quickly. I am thinking it would make a great car quilt, for those times when you would like to have something to wrap around you, or to sit on (put it folded on a bench and it would be a little softer to sit on it!!) But, lets just get it to the finishing stage before we start to use it!! lol!)





I made more 'Twilight' Blks yesterday! Since each pattern says to make two blks and I do not want the blks the same, on one, I just moved the two colors around - on the other I choose two different fabrics. The one with the orange blks, when I had the two fabrics side by side. they looked really good together, each the same intensity - in the blk, orange took right over!! I was woundering if it would have been that way if I had reversed their order, but oh well, it's done now, and I am not re-doing it!! (she says now........)










Funny, I kinda like the orange blk..... it looks cosmic... (is that a word???!) I am going to leave it....


This coming up week, I am doing my BOM's!! I got my CAM. BOM on Tuesday, and the Goose Tracks one is out today!! So I can go work on that one - at least print it off anyway. I am liking those blks. And I could do my guild ones, (but those blks are just not speaking to me, no desire to work on them.......) and I found my PhD of the flip flops.... thongs - they are thongs!!! But I have to remember not to say that in public!!! So I just might pull that out and work on it because, it's snowing out there again........


Till next week - change that needle, wind some bobbins, and let your self be free!!!!!

  4. Oh, I get it, I need to have more coffee in the am when I read posts Brenda. I have the same problems sometimes some blocks just don't do it for me.

  5. Is it the colour that you don't like in the guild blocks or just the blocks? I like the orange block and yes it does look "Cosmic". Have a great week quilting.

  8. Your Stash Project Quilt looks great!! Will you quilt it yourself?

    I'm a huge fan of orange, but rarely use it. I love your star blocks and my favorite is the one with orange.

    I don't know what my hurry is, but I'm so itching to finish mine...My blocks are all sewn together into rows. I had the worst time finding fabric for my setting triangles. Most of my fabric is 1yd cuts and less. I could have gone scrappy, but I finally found a 2yd cut that will work. I cut the triangles bigger than instructed because I like things to "float". I've got Brownies tonight so now sewing.

    I finished watching 24 last night. I was shocked by the turn of events. I can't wait until season 2 becomes available for me to check out. My mom has Season 3 and 4.

    Happy Sewing!!

  9. YES!!! They are Thongs, not Flip-Flops!!! I am in total agreement with you! I look forward to seeing that quilt! I should make one for my eldest. Her main foot-ware in life from April till late October, if she can get away with it! 8-)
    Your "Judy's stash buster" looks great! I hadn't seen such on point anywhere! Your blocks are looking good too! 8-)
    Happy stitchings!

  11. Those blue on blue with black stars get my vote. Thanks for visiting my blog. It's always fun to 'see' a new face. :)

  12. I really like the black background fabric you have used in these blocks. I said thongs to a grade 6 class once and the girls laughed their heads off and the boys with no sisters looked really puzzled. Lol. In Australia they always wear them and they call them thongs.
