I bought 7 yards of a bright floral for a quilt for one of my sisters. It is going to be another one block wonder, so I also bought a bundle of coordinating fat quarters to use for the cubes in the quilt. Later today, I met a friend at The Blue Crab Quilt Company and found fabric to make a pillowcase for another sister. All told, I bought 12 yards of fabric. QA threw in an extra 1/2 yard for free.
If this were a normal weekend, I'd at least finish a pillowcase. But this is not a normal weekend because were out of town, so I didn't get any sewing done.
Used this week: 0 yards
Used Year to Date: 79 yards
Added this week: 12.5 yards
Added year to date: 80.375 yards
Net Added: 1.375 yards
Even having made 2 big scrap quilts and one recycled fabric quilt the past year, I'm still bouncing around the net added/net used line. I really feel like I'm close having the perfect amount of fabric in my stash, and as long as I keep using up my scraps, I feel mostly ok about buying more fabric.

Your post gives me a lot to think about for myself... what is the "perfect" amount of fabric for me and how to work towards that. Have a great weekend!
If you feel OK about adding to your stash then you should. Replacing what you use would be a good place to be.
I wish I could have a "perfect" amount in my stash -- wonder what that would be?? You are staying even with buying and using, so I think you are doing great!
