Stash Report and QOV Tops

I've been busy sewing and quilting this week. My sewing consisted of finishing another QOV top with the HST blocks. This was set in a flying geese pattern that was on my design wall.  I found an appropriate fabric in the stash for the border. It has USA printed in red scattered on the blue background.  Since I already counted the blocks, I can only count the border fabric as used this week.

Then because I am a little crazy, I started another one with the dark strips added to the colored triangle side.  You know, those scraps multiply at night if you don't use them when you have a chance.! Also, I wanted to try another setting to show what can be done with this versatile block. Here is what the design wall looked like yesterday.  Now all the blocks are made and I'm just putting them into rows today.  That is at least 5 more yards of fabric out of the stash.

Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.  Check out what others have done with their stashes this week.

  3. somehow we don't seem to count it as a new project if we are using up scraps... we count ourselves as virtuous and thrifty... or at least that is how it seems to me. Good luch with the scrap busting.
