Stash Report and Wild and Goosey

I have yards used to report this week because my Grand Illusion quilt top is finished.  It feels good to have one of my quilting goals for 2015 already complete.   I also bought 4 fat quarters for Project of Doom.  POD may be my downfall this year as far as buying fabric.  Already this year, I've bought seven and a half yards for POD.  

Used This Week:  6 yards                                                    
Used Year to Date: 6 yards 
Added this week:  1.0 yards 
Added year to date: 11.5 yards
 Net Added:  5.5 yards 

This week I need to work on the next quilt in my round robin even though what I really want to work on is Wild and Goosey.  I've got 40 Wild and Goosey blocks done already.

 

One of the things I like about making them is that it is helping me clean out my unorganized scraps.  I know a lot of quilters spend a lot of time folding their fabric, cutting their scraps, organizing by color.  I don't.  It doesn't bother me to work in a mess.  When I want to sew these blocks, I just dump out some bags of unorganized scraps and start sewing.  I would rather spend my time sewing than organizing lots of little bits and pieces.  Any scrap that makes it into one of these blocks is one less scrap I need to find a home for!

 

 

I never thought I would be addicted to itty bitty paper piecing, but I can't stop making these blocks!
