Anyone can play-- whether or not you're on a fabric purchasing moratorium.
To qualify as a success, 90% of your finished project must be made from your stash. For quilts, this means 90% of your quilt TOP. (Although Challenge participants will receive extra points-- cheers and applause-- for projects that are 100% stash-produced.)
"Finished" means all the way done and ready to use.
Who's going to post their first "made from stash" photo?
I have two questions
1. Does "stash" count if you bought the fabric for a specific quilt?
2. Does "stash" count if you raid your mother's that she inherited from her mother
I have completed ONE quilt top this year (June) that I started when my daughter was 15 (she's 32 now) She chose the pattern and I bought the fabric... I had to buy the backing material but the batting is cotton that my mother got from my grandmother's stash.
The 2nd quilt I'm working on is again one I bought the fabric for 17 years ago for my dd #2's quilt that she pick out the pattern and it's about 1/2 completed... goal is to have both completed by Dec 25, 2012
