Stash Usage At Last!

I used 3 yards on the  Easter pillowcases, 8.75 yards on my son's quilt, and 7 yards of backing on Scrapitude.  I still need to bind Scrapitude, but I feel like I made good progress this week.

Here is Scrapitude, quilted but not bound.  It is so big, my king sized bed is the only good place I have to lay it out.
 
The quilting is a simple meander pantograph.  It is what my longarmer calls a budget pattern.


The backing is a neutral wide backing cotton I found at my LQS.  I liked not having to piece the back.  It saved me time, and since the wedding was in February, I wanted to get it done as soon as I could.  I hope to bind it this week.



Used This Week: 18.75 yard
Used Year to Date: 36.25 yards
Added this week: 0 yards
Added year to date: 36.375 yards
 Net Added: 0.125  yards

I'm still not in net used territory, but so very close! To see more stash reports:  http://www.patchworktimes.com/2014/04/13/stash-report-week-15-2014/
