Lotsa Fabric

I bought 8.5 yards of fabric at the quilt shop last week and 6 yards for backing at JoAnn's.  That's a lot of fabric!  Then I went back today and got 7 more yards for backing another quilt.  That's a total of 21.5 yards, which is probably the most I've  bought in a week this whole year.

Used this week: 2.25 yards

Used Year to Date: 80.5 yards

Added this week: 21.5 yards

Added year to date: 60.25 yards

Net Used: 20.25 yards

 

I'm hoping to get a quilt to the longarmer this week, so my numbers should get better soon!

 

I splurged this week on fabric for another one block wonder.  I saw two fabrics that I really liked when I was picking out fabric in August, but used some restraint and only bought one of them.  When I went back this week, the other one I liked was 1/2 price, so I bought the rest of the bolt. I have enough to make the one block wonder quilt and can use it for the border too.

 

A lot of fabrics that work best for one block wonder quilts are big florals.  Most fabric like that is too feminine for teenage boys.  I think this one might work, though.  It has khaki-green palm leaves on a cream background.  There are splashes of red and yellow with a light design of blue too.  I think this would look great with some red cubes too.  I can't wait to get started on this one, but it is a project for 2013.
