Thanks PaperPrincess,
I could have walked away without it but the thought of making two special people happy makes me glad I picked it up. I did use up a yard of fabric yesterday and will get at least another yard used up today. I resisted getting more cotton yarn which was also big for me. (I knit up washcloths on trips).
For the first time, I'm really enjoying this challenge! It's been kind of fun to look at my stash and think, now what can I make out of that?
I think I'll start a list of how much gets used up -using a rough estimate, of course.
Thanks for the support!
