Stash Busting Goals - 2015

It's always encouraging to have a blank slate to begin stash busting in a new year.  It would be nice to purchase less fabric than last year (87.8 yards) and use more fabric.  In 2014, my net stash decrease was 97.97 yards.  So, 2015 will have the following focus:

 

A) Reduce the LongarmUFO list.  That will start in January.  I won't put a definite number per month since that didn't work in 2014.
