I added a little more than I used this week because I'm participating in a quilting round robin, and we need to send 2 yards of a focus fabric and 3 yards of a background. I almost never use a 'focus' fabric when I'm making a quilt, and I don't have very many pieces of fabric bigger than a fat quarter in my stash. I'm mostly a scrap quilter. Each person in this RR will make a 12 1/2 inch center block and send it on to the next person who puts a border on it. I think there are 6 people in my group. My round robin will be done in neutrals.
I've never done a quilting RR before, but I have done many cross stitch round robins. I've framed a lot of my favorite RRs, but I have a lot of them that are just sitting in a drawer due to the cost of framing and lack of empty walls in my house.
And now, because every post should have a picture, here's what my favorite tree looked like two weeks ago.
Used This Week: 4.75 yard
Used Year to Date: 45.75 yards
Added this week: 4.75 yards
Added year to date: 41.125 yards
Net Used: 4.625 yards

I apologize for not coming over to comment on your blog before, but I am looking forward to the round robin quilt that we are participating in together. I don't use focus fabric either, nor do I have a lot of yardage, but this time I had some fabrics that would work as a focus, and I am putting in several fat quarter sized fabrics to use or not. So I can understand. I know I've seen your comments before on my blog and hopefully I have responded to at least one. I know I recognized your screen name/email and it took me a little bit of searching to confirm that you were the same Laura that is in our round robin group. Take care, I can't wait to see what we all do. Waving from Kansas!
