I used 8 yards of ( stash) fabrics for the background squares of a hockey quilt actually a little more than that. I had 5 yards of black, have about 16” left full width and a few smaller strips. Then I used the same amount of a burgundy which was a wide fabric I had 3 separate pieces of (68” x 96”- 84” x 96”, ) I used up both of those and a (2) 24” x 27” pieces of the third.
Pits great that my fabric actually fits on my shelves now! I still have an abundance of small pieces/ strings, scraps but I’m working on string blocks and using those up too.
I have a commission quilt order I’m going to have to shop for. We are leaving on vacation the end of next week and I’m going to shop for that quilt on vacation. I figure that it’s better to have a focus- goal, that way I will be less tempted than if I am just wanting to buy ( something) from each shop I visit.
