Awesome finishes everyone! Sadly I am not adding anything to the count but wanted to cheer you all on. I'm working on a fun, and complicated (for me) 4PP for a special lady. Happily it is NOT a comfort quilt, but will just be a gift of love. She is having some personal struggles and I wanted to do something special for her.

By the way, I'm pretty sure most fabric moratoriums make exceptions for backing fabrics.

Speaking of backings, I use fleece for mine, and recently a certain fabric store had their anti-pill fleece on sale for 70% off. This same store marks their remnants 50% off. By carefully selecting short bolts, and judicious purchasing, I bought
backing for 12 quilts. I spent $62, but the best part is where it shows the savings on my receipt. I saved a total of $242.34!! Call me a happy quilter!
