This past week I made one block for the Just Take 2 quilt, using about 1/4 yard of fabric. Then I went to the Goodwill Clearance Center. Let’s just say my numbers got shot. A while back I figured my ‘shirt standard’ to be 1 1/2 yards — and I bought 18 shirts/pajama pants. But since 5 or 6 of them are tiny I’m figuring my yardage based on 15 shirts which means I’m counting 22 1/2 yards. I definitely need to stay away from thrift shops for a while until I get a few more quilts made.
Most of the shirts were plaids, stripes and checks. My favorite find of the day was a gray shirt. I just love this print.
Well, I can’t put it off any longer. Here are this week’s statistics.
Fabric Added Since Last Report: 22.5 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 22.5 yards
Fabric Used Since Last Report: 0.244 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 0.663 yards
Net Used for the year -21.837 yards

Sure can’t beat the prices on shirts from Goodwill. They will make some great quilts.
