Julie's Star Quilt
About 7 years ago, (yes, it really has been that long) I won a $250 gift certificate from the Fat Quarter Shop. I won this because I used the most fabric in the prior year's Stashbusting Club. We would report on our blog how much fabric we used and how much we bought. That entire previous year I only bought fabric if I needed it to finish a project and I was astonished at the end of the year that I had purchased over 100 yards. I would have guessed that I normally purchased about 100 yards/year on an average. I think I had estimated really low. Anyway, my daughter Julie helped me spend my gift certificate and this fabric and pattern was part of that. She worked on the quilt at retreats only and finished it at our Spring Break this year. I finally loaded it this week and finish it up this morning before she came to visit.

Making my way out of the red, slowly but surely! I'm counting the Countdown to Christmas this week because all the pieces are cut and it's well on it's way to being done.
I bought 2 FQs at Yoders and used one of them already.

It wasn't a good week for me stash-wise. One of our quilt shops is discontinuing fabrics, notions, books and patterns. I went with Dan to take back a serviced machine and had to look around. They still had some Countdown to Christmas and I have been looking for that to make the Starry Eyed Quilt, so I bought some half yards. I also bought some Pure fabrics and Kona cotton to make a wall hanging for Kale and Lynn to give to one of their neighbors as a housewarming gift. And a couple of 1930's FQs.
I did cut up a kit to take to the retreat on Thursday, but I didn't count that yet and I made 3 lotto blocks for the retreat.

The only fabric I can count is the backing for a charity strip quilt made by Caren. I used some of the football fabric I purchased at Joanns a few weeks ago with this quilt in mind. A couple weeks ago I ordered two 15 yard bolts of muslin from EE Schenck. I'm not planning to add that to my stash until I use some of it for my quilts. I will sell some to my customers, so it's not really in my stash, but I may use some.

I went to Joann's yesterday with Janet and was hoping to spend $50 so I could get a 30% off card for this week. Their clearance fabric was 50% off the clearance price so I picked up some for backings. The football will be for charity quilts and the brown and pink for my pineapple quilt. They also had Kona on sale, so I got 3 yards of it for making the Starry Eyed quilt. I bought some other things and used my 20% off coupon on my phone. My total before tax was $51, so I have the 30% off coupon to use this week.

Not much stitching time for me this week, although I did finish the baby quilt. I quilted 7 customer quilts and one of my own, along with preparing Thanksgiving dinner, Black Friday shopping with Julie, helping to make and decorate a baby shower cake, and attending the baby shower. Yep, it was a busy week!

It was a good week with some finishes, a king size finished with binding and pillowcases, and a queen size top and a lap quilt top finished.
Yesterday at my visit to quilt camp, I completed these to make some pillows for Calise's room. The leaves were signed by friends and family at the baby shower.
I also assembled the leftover blocks from Jeff and Danés quilt into this lap quilt.
And made the scrappy red binding for it:
Here's a corner of the queen size:

Bought a few WOW FQs at Joanns last week, and 5 FQs at camp to give me some more options in the pineapple blocks.
It sure doesn't seem like I used verymuch for being at quilt camp, but most of the pineapple fabrics were Janets and I'm not counting them in or out. The scrap squad quilt has donated fabrics in it also, so only the background is being counted in that one.

I added the backing and binding to the Duke Smyser quilt this week and also the sashing/borders for the row-by-row. I don't think I ever counted the fabric in my tote for this RBR, but I'm not ready to figure it out just yet, beyond the pieces I have actually cut.
And I didn't buy anything last week, but I'm heading to Joanns later today....

Nothing in or out this week. I did so much customer quilting I didn't have time for anything of mine. This coming week should bring more of the same, although I do have to quilt a donation quilt, so I'll be using some backing and binding fabric.

I had to buy a little more of the background fabric for the Town Square quilt and I have 20+ blocks finished. I did receive a Stash Enhancement in the mail this week, but haven't figured out how to count it as it's odd size pieces. I may sort through it and estimate, or I may not count it in or out. It will be used for mostly the same project.
