Okay, I'm happy to report on my first "stash heading out the door" success. It's not a ton, but using WMU's formula I've got about 1.25 yards of fabric heading to the BOM coordinator at our guild. She is collecting themed blocks every month and turning them into beautiful quilts to be donated through our Community Quilts program. I haven't really been able to participate until this month, but I have a large under-bed box that is dedicated solely to I Spy/novelty prints and was able to dredge up enough larger scraps of coordinating fabrics to far exceed my initial two-block goal. This block is called Rolling Stone and I enjoyed the challenge of practising precise seams to make sure my points were (almost always) right where they needed to be!

P.S. I was able to stretch my stash by considering the backside of some of my fabrics - not all of them can be flipped, but the paler colour in the red block at the front of the photo is actually the back side of a rather garish pink... it's a win! :-)
