Stash Report


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.

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!
