So what did I buy?
Purple and yellow fat quarters for a scrappy quilt that is already in progress.
Plus:
The purple and yellow floral on the bottom is to back the scrap quilt I bought the fat quarters for. The dark blue with the yellow stars in the middle is for the border of the BOM that I showed on my design wall last Monday. The multicolored on white, the red/white swirls and medium blue/white swirls are blenders I bought to build up my stash in that area.
I count my fabric when I finish a block (otherwise I'd never count anything). I finished 2 BOM blocks and 2 for the purple/yellow scrap quilt. I also pieced the backing for a mystery quilt and got it sent to the quilter. So here are my numbers for the week:
Used this Week: 3.6 y
Used Year to Date: 29 y
Added this Week: 25.4 y
Added Year to Date: 299.6 y
Net Used for 2010: -270.6 y

Love all the fabrics you bought.
Everyone is reporting stash for a different reason. Some want to reduce, some just want to keep the amount in check and try to keep what comes in even with what goes out.
I want to reduce my stash. I am trying to use more than what comes in but I won't stop buying. Especially for borders, I never seem to have the right color for the project and sometimes it is just so fun to buy a new set of fabrics.
Good purchases - Looking forward to seeing the purple/yellow quilt since those are such fun and cheerful colors!

I may have to adopt your theory of counting when I finish a block. I'm using fabric but can't report anything until it's totally done with my method. So of course nothing being reported for quite a bit of time! Nice purchases. Jane
