In the Black for Now

I've still used more than I've added this week since I sent a couple of UFOs off to Sarah for her charity quilts.  If you have blocks or tops you have fallen out of love with, Sarah will take them off your hands.   I just happened to come across her blog on the internet one day, I don't remember how or why. It turns out she has relatives living within 3 miles of my house.

 Used this week: 2.5 yards  
Used Year to Date:  51.0 yards
Added this week: 0 yards
Added year to date:  48.375 yards
Net Used:  2.625  yards

I've started my first quilt made from recycled shirts.  My brother, husband and BIL all contributed, but most of the shirts are blue, white or some combination of blue and white.  BORING!  I'm hoping to find some other color shirts at yard sales or thrift shops.  My goal is not to accumulate more shirts than will fit in one large tub.

 I don't plan to include shirts in my yardage counts since my reason for keeping track of net added yards is more about keeping my fabric spending in check than it is about keeping the volume of fabric under control.
