Sunday Stash - Wallop

To say I did some damage in the fabric store this morning might be a bit of an understatement.

Forty. Nine. Yards. I counted as I folded it to put in my stash. Except… it won’t all fit on my shelves. Whoops. Good problems to have, I suppose! I wouldn’t have normally purchased so much but I confess I was stocking up before the drought as I’m pretty sure this fabric will be the bulk (as in 90%) of my fabric intake for the first half of the year. Also, I was rewarding myself a bit for a good presentation to the other guild last week and for kicking butt at work last year.

Also, it was reallllllllly nice fabric. And I lurvvvvve it.

Excuses aside, I got a set of 7 panels for a One Block Wonder class (on Valentine’s Day), a set of 6 fat quarters, and a number of bolts mostly in lime greens, oranges, and a smidge of red polka dot for some Quilts of Valor. I also picked up some Soft Fuse to try and a new thimble.

In the finishes pile this week is the eyeball-seering scrappy quilt, aka Red Medallion. I’ll post pictures when it’s not dark out.  I’m also in the middle of quilting this fun 60″ giant purple star quilt - more on this when I post the finished pictures!
