HAHA, I get to go fabric shopping! My colleague brought his mom's quilt by and it is HUGE. I have nothing in my stash to use for binding so off to Joann I go. It requires solid blue and solid red to match the center star. Guilt-free shopping and a good deed to boot.

I recently finished this baby quilt/wall hanging made from fabric in my stash. I call it "Fly Away".[ATTACH=CONFIG]570280[/ATTACH]

I just posted a finish on the 2017 UFO challenge. It's the one with Lutradur "lacing" and all of it was done using stash,

Doesn't it feel wonderful when an entire project miraculously appears from stash?
Nicely done.
Rob, I think I need some explanation about the Lutrador. Love the way it came out.

Thanks Martina. Lutrador is similar to non-woven interfacings. I'm not sure what the material is that it's made from. It comes in a variety of weights ranging from very lightweight (like interfacing) all the way up to the weight that I used for this piece which was about the thickness of card stock. Anyway, if you stitch on it with cotton thread and then use a heat gun it will start to develop holes. The holes stop wherever there is cotton thread.
I did a two step process with the stitching, I stitched on it with cotton thread using some of the decorative stitches on my regular sewing machine, then I took it over to my PQ1500 straight stitch machine and FMQ'd it using some of the Westalee templates to get the large spirograph-looking motifs (circles and flower-ish things). The cotton thread did a good job of stopping it from disappearing completely (except where I got a little heavy handed with the heat gun LOL).
That's the lacy effect you see.
