It’s POSITIVE!

August 9, 2008

My numbers are positive!  I’ve used more fabric than I’ve added this year.  Oh, what a great way to start a Quiltathon weekend!  In positive territory.  There’s no stopping me now! :)   My full stash report will come tomorrow but I was down 10.5 yards but this week, I’ve used 15-1/4 yards so far . . which is probably all I’ll use.  I quilted one big top which took 6 yards for the backing and sleeve.  I sewed the binding on it but I’d already counted the binding fabric because I counted that when I made it.  Then I cut out another quilt that I started and will finish the top tomorrow.  Counting the binding for that one (which I went ahead and made before I even made the top . . such a good quilter! :) ), I used another 9-1/4 yards.

Yes . . the numbers are no longer negative!  Oh . . here’s the fabric for the new quilt.

Yay! I love those colors you’ve picked!

I wanted to ask you on block #1 when we do the flying geese pieces, do you leave the “ears” of the triangles on? Or do you trim them off?

Positive is a very good thing. I just have to ask though – how in heaven’s name do you get so many quilts done so fast? And how many do you think you’ve made this year? lifetime? Blessings, marlene
