it's still a ufo...but one more step is done

the top is set and borders are on. now to get the backing done so i can quilt this baby . at this
point this batik disappearing nine patch is going
to sit in the stack of tops that need backing. No telling when i will get to it. at least the top is done

i have another one that i am about done making the blocks. i am really trying to make a dent in
the UFO stack.

next month i am going to start keeping track of
the yardage that i use, AND the fabric purchases
that i make...in the case of scrap quilts the yardage will be estimated. i should start seeing a decrease in my stash over the next year.

i do know that i limit my fabric buying to the b words backing,batting, borders and binding and
and sometimes background. i shall see if i make any gains at all. i am not pre inventorying my stash, i think it would overwhelm me .

gGood luck on reducing stash. I am in the same boat but I still buy because stores are not on the next block and I might need something immediately. That's my excuse anyway. Your quilts are beautiful Ann. How many quilts waiting for the Grace?
