I have a quilt top so I have yardage to report as used! I’ll save the quilt top for tomorrow’s Design Wall post, but I’ll show the backing I’m now working on.
Yes, more shirt fabric. I’m cutting 9″ squares to piece into backings for the 3 DP9 quilts and need 320 of them! I can sometimes get 2 squares from a long sleeve depending on how big the shirt was. This is a stack of 21 squares. At this point there’s not much left in the shirts, but I’m not quite ready to cut them into strips. While I’m cutting these squares, I am cutting more tumblers.
I briefly thought about buying this sheet set at Savers, but since I wasn’t sure I had a quilt top it would work wiith as a backing and linens are 40% off on Monday…
So, the new numbers are:
Fabric Added Since Last Report 0 yards
Fabric Added to Date: 181.805 yards
Fabric Used Since Last Report: 6.806 yards
Fabric Used to Date: 54.979 yards
INCREASE in Stash to Date: 126.826 yards
See how others are doing over at Patchwork Times.
Great outage! Looks like you are going to have some outage to report soon.
Looks like you’ll have a finish soon and more fabric out.
What a fun idea to use up old shirts in a big way. Looks like you’ve been having fun adding to your stash!
