I was a good girl and stayed to the purples. I even had the baggie of samples to compare so I only bought 1 full (for the churn dashes) and 2 halves (for the scrappy) that coordinated.

Joanne's kindly obliged with a $5 off $5 or more coupon. So $12 of fabric was only $7....(I looked but was strong).

Yeah bay-bee!

Tohkatz68: I really like that design. It gives me an idea for some big orphan squares.

Whoo-Hoo! Congratulations on your purposeful shopping and not adding to your stash. Stand up and be proud! Now sit down and finish those two purples. :~) Looking for photos soon.

The comfort quilt leader asked to take over the design and production of kits for a 12" block Log Cabin Quilt. I'm back in business.

I don’t have a picture of the quilt yet, still need to quilt and bind it but I used 22 1/4 yards of stash fabric to create a king size quilt for my youngest son. I knew I wouldn’t have it done for Christmas so decided to get it done for his March birthday. I used a panel I’ve had for ages and then pretty much depleted my blues for the log cabin parts. I combined two different patterns to make it. There is actually a bit of a gap on the shelves. I’ve also been using 3” squares as leaders/ Enders and putting together 16 patches - working on using up those scraps everywhere too. I’m really hoping to use up a lot more of what I have this year. I have numerous wide backs on the shelves too so I won’t even have to spend money on those this year.

Tohkatz, great finish and a lovely quilt.

Rff1010, sounds like a great deal on necessary fabric for your projects w/o feeling guilty. yay

Ckcowl, I always enjoy your quilts, so I look forward to seeing this one. Sounds like you're digging into your stash, too!

Everyone is doing well using their stash! I'm glad Rob mentioned a large picture, as the "thumbnail" tag didn't register with me. Ah ha! I have to click on the pic to see a larger version! Duh. I'm spending most of my time packing rather than sewing, & my brain is overloaded. I've also dropped heavy things on each foot. Who knew packing is hazardous?!? Both feet have big bruises as a result. I'll be glad when I'm done.

Conchlea - take care with your footsies. You'll need them to help unpack. I had two of JoAnn's $5.00 off coupons, but instead of buying fabric, I purchased 4 skeins of yarn for my church's prayer shawl ministry. I ended up paying less than $3.00 for the 4 skeins.

As to fabric - no purchases for me AND I have emptied out 3 drawers of scraps and donated them to a thrift shop. I don't particularly care to make scrappy quilts, but since I belong to a prayer quilting group plus do the quilting for them I end up with tons of scraps. This past year I've forced myself to make scrappy quilts to use them up. I sorted through and kept anything 1/4 yard or more and strips larger than 2" wide. So I still have scraps, but none of the small stuff. I really can't assess how much yardage they would equal, so I'm going with 15.
