I've got a teeny-tiny victory to report! :-)

I'd offered to bind some of my guild's community quilts (they get lots of flimsies and UFOs) and picked up a couple at the last meeting only to discover that there wasn't enough coordinating fabric included for said binding. I'm sure for some of you that wouldn't have made you bat an eyelash, but my stash is pretty strange and significantly limited in some ways. However, I'm pleased to report that while I didn't have a single piece of fabric large enough to work as a solid binding I was able to pull together a few coordinating "bits" and have finished the first binding. I'm actually quite pleased with it, so just about 650 square inches - so half a yard? - of fabric is out of my stash! Woo hoo!!! :-)

Edit: The darker green is an off-cut from the quilt back but as it would have ended up in my stash if I hadn't used it I'm including it in my calculation!
