Teen: Exciting time! That was a sweet gesture on the part of your LQS.
I tallied up my usage amounts last year and it was close to 111 yards. I am especially pleased since most of that yardage was only used in quilt tops to be donated to my church group. I can't find the receipt for my last purchase so will need to add totals for that area when I find it. I probably came out even for out/in because of my purchases and donations but it's not feasible to keep track of the donated small pieces and orphan blocks or the gobs of rolls/balls of strips that were donated from someone's rug making stash (many usable strips for quilts; others will be donated.)
