Week 7 (2/9-15/2020)

Used this Period: 4.47 yards

Added this Period: 11.5 yards

Used Year-to-Date:  34.19 yards
Added Year-to-Date:  40.08 yards


Net Stash Increase for 2020:   5.89 yards


The breakdown of the additions to the stash:  1 yard of Spiderman to make a pillowcase for the grandson; 1 yard black to finish the Halloween quilt; 1 yard for the February quilt houses; 1.5 yards of a purple print for the #5 shoe quilt; 4 yards of a peach solid for a future Cathedral Window quilt; and 3 yards of a beautiful pink floral--a "just because!"  All at Hobby Lobby's 40% off of all fabric.  

Then on Tuesday it quickly became one of "those" days.  I am constructing the houses for February from scrap stash and ran out of the roof fabric.  Because I was cutting and sewing all the pieces for various parts instead of doing just the pieces for a couple of blocks at a time, I have a lot of sewn pieces that are unusable in this quilt.  Makes one want to say a bad word!!  So it took a while to bolster my resolve again to go downstairs and start making half-square triangles from some different fabrics--the houses will not all be the same.  Because I don't like this quilt, it makes it hard to work on it--I just want to get it done!!

End of Week:  And now it's done--as much as I am going to do on it.  Only one border .  I don't like it any better now than when I started!  From now on, if I have a NewFO on the list that I am not excited about doing, I'm just going to take it off the list and do a different quilt.
