Final Stash Report of 2016

Every year I have the same goal as far as my stash is concerned:  I want to use more fabric than I add.  I fell short this year, though, and bought 17.5 yards of half-priced fabric last week.  I have plans for most of it already, but I need to be really aware in 2017 of how much I buy.  I want to be a quilter, not a fabric hoarder!

Used this week: 2.0 (Stars Around the Corner borders)
Used year to date: 83.5 yards
Added this week: 0
Added year to date:  104.375 yards
Net  Added:  20.875 yards

2016  20.875 yards added
2015   6.357 yards used
2014   2.5 yards added
2013   9.5 yards added
2012   20.25 yards used

In June, I realized that I had 22 unquilted tops.  That is too many!  I decided that by the end of the year, I should get it down to 20.  By donating 5 tops to charity and getting a few more quilted, my unfinished tops now number 15.  My goal is to get the number down to 10 unquilted tops by 2018 and keep it at no more than 10 unquilted going forward.

Finally, I finished nine quilts this year:

Scrappy Mountains Majesty:

Daybreak:

 Jamestown Landing:

Mod Bear Paw:

Second Project of Doom:                                                                                                               

Red and White Ohio Star:                                                                                                                      

Science Fair:                                                                                                                                       

Trent's Bargello Quilt:                                                                                                                      

Wild & Goosey:                                                                                                                          

Seven of these quilts were gifts.  Sometimes it feels like I do a lot of piecing and never finish a quilt.  This year, though, I got a lot accomplished!
