If you would like to see how others are doing on their stash check out Judy's blog. It is great fun.
I was able to finish the Grandmother's Diamond Ring top. But to do so I had to buy 2.5 yards for the borders and the binding. I used the fabric for the borders and I cut and sewed up the binding. So fabric in equals fabric out. So far I haven't busted any stash but I haven't added to it either. I did sew the backing for this quilt together but I am not going to count it until I have the quilt quilted. A little incentive there. The color is a little washed out in the picture. I was shooting with the sun peeking around the house. There also was a slight breeze so the quilt is not flat.
I also finished another one of my mother's quilts. It looks quite good far away, but there are a bunch of pleats and tucks on this puppy. My mom's enthusiasm far out distances her accuracy, but hey, she has fun. She believes that magenta is a neutral. I just did a panto over the whole thing.
I have my Flowers Forever back on the machine and am almost done with all the background fill. My goal is to have that quilt completely finished by next week. Stay tuned and see if I make it.
I hope you have a very productive week....and have fun while doing it.
