September 10 - October 14, 2011
I am
so behind on my stash reports. To catch up, to this one covers the last 5 weeks. Hopefully I can keep all the numbers straight!.
First off, I purchased some
Hometown fabric to make a table runner for my sunroom. I believe there's a total of 3.25 yards here - including the backing fabric. I'm going to use a slightly modified version of the
Pathways and Crossroads Quilt Pattern to make it.

I also bought 7 yards of
Just Wing It by MoMo to use for borders, backing and binding. This should be enough fabric, along with a Layer Cake I received for my birthday, to make a nice sized quilt. And best of all, the yardage was on clearance for half off!

Since I saw the quilt
45 and Life to Go earlier this year, I've been imagining it on our bed. I purchased the pattern and kit from
Primitive Gatherings. The kit includes 16.5 yards for the 110" square version. That's a lot of fabric, but the quilt is going together beautifully so far.
(I'll share my progress in a future post.)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8vh0nOAGIj8pvEtKvcFdr8NI07iiVVarQ0e458PxggQK6gRgL3lRf9ws6oYUE_dgpRo8XVhbBbquONm_3mstnaiNM6aYaF4ZAMY2GpWwW9UDfqOp4GQCdWIioiw9BALQAHp5HGwj5Q7o/s400/DSC05247.JPG) |

The rest of my purchases were from the 2011 Stash Dash. I bought a FQ Bundle of
Little Gatherings and a Charm Pack of
Primitive Muslin - both made by Primitive Gatherings. There's 10.75 yards between the 2 of them.

I also bought a Layer Cake and Jelly Roll of
Panier de Fleurs by French General. This shop was having an amazing sale on pre-cuts that day (in case you couldn't tell). That's another 5.5 yards.

And finally, I bought 2 yards of assorted Christmas prints. I believe three of them are from
Jovial and I'm not certain about the last.

Doesn't it sound like all I've been doing is shopping the last 5 weeks? Would you be surprised to learn that all of it entered my stash in less than a week? I actually haven't purchased even a scrap of fabric in more than 4 weeks now. With all that's come in, I couldn't possibly need any more!
In the last 5 weeks, I've also managed to complete 3 quilts and 2 quilt tops. I've already done posts on the finished quilts, so I'll just add a picture and link for those...

I'm in the process of quilting this Dresden Plate Table Runner. It's slow going though because I'm using my walking foot and there's a lot of twisting and turning of the quilt.

Festivities - I used 2.75 yards for the top |
I finished piecing this last quilt at the retreat I just attended. I'm hoping for a quick turn around on this one...

YOu have been busy! That is a lot of fabric, but I am sure you will get to it all! It has been slow going on my quilt blog because we are having foundation work done and we had a lot of prep work in the garage and house! I did get my Granddaugters quilt posted. I will start posting more that I completed last year, soon.
