Congrats to all who stayed strong in March. I did not have too bad a March on my moratorium...I did have a small slip and bought 2-1/2 yards in quarter yard cuts from the sale bin at hobby lobby, but I've already started using them in my 365 quilt.

As for what I used, for this twin sized quilt top, I bought six small cuts of patriotic fabrics, the rest were all stash fabrics:

It's my son's favorite, It had a very damaged top, but the backing was still in decent shape. He really loved the drape and the quilting, and asked if I could salvage it. I made the new top and tied it to preserve the existing quilting design, and put on a new binding. Happily, he was thrilled!

I also used about 2-1/2 yards so far from my stash for my mother's Fractured Crystals quilt. I still need to attach the borders, and make a matching valance for her window, and maybe some pillow cases, so I'll be using up a few more yards in the next couple of weeks.
