End of the year- 2011- Stash Report

My quilting has almost come to a halt getting ready for Christmas.  This afghan (in progress above) took almost a month of my time.  A friend commissioned me to make it (meaning I got paid!) and it took me over a month.  The good news is the recipient (another friend) absolutely loved it. 

The good news is that I used 295.5 yards of fabric this year.  The bad news is that I bought 143.25 yards.  But, my mantra this year was not to buy fabric that didn't have an immediate purpose.  I stook to that- almost!  So some that was bought was put into quilts right away.  I ended up the year using 155 yards from my stash- so not bad. 

I made 22 quilts this year.  Next year I hope to step up the level of my skill and make less- 12 or so (not counting the baby quilts for gifts of friends new grandbabies).  And I hope to work on my machine quilting skills.  I participated in Judy L's 2011 UFO Challenge and I completed 11 UFO's.  December's is still staring at me because of the above afghan.  It was great to get those done!

Merry Christmas everyone!
