Net Stash Decrease for 2012:  77 1/4 yards

Did I go backwards or what?!!  I completely dismissed stash-busting when I saw those pretty yardages on JoAnn's Red Tag shelves with an additional 50% off!  I did get a little over 4 yards of patriotic fabric--but that was the only positive excuse I can make for bringing home those 2 bags.  Well, I can also say that I paid only $2 and $3 a yard for all of the fabric I bought--for their $10-12 a yard fabric!  Now I'll really have to work to get back to 100 yards decrease. 

 

I have the blocks sewn together on my black & white UFO for this month.  I used the yard of B&W I purchased at JoAnn's (see above) and still had to search through my scraps to have enough to finish the quilt top.  I wanted to put piping and prairie points on the edge--but don't have enough fabric left (only have about a quarter of a yard) to make them--so the quilt top is "resting" while I think about what to do next.  Hope everyone was more disciplined than myself this week.
