A Finished Top and Stash Report

It's been a few weeks since I posted my stash numbers but now I have something finished, so it is time.

First off, at retreat I worked on this top and now it's a flimsy and ready for a backing.  I need a name for this one.  The fabric line is a mystery to me since it was given to me by a friend, so no help there as to a name.  It's not speaking to tell me what it wants to be called.  Any ideas??


Next up are the 8 pillowcases finished at retreat. Some fabrics were 1.5 yds so there are two of those.
All forms of aviation --hot air balloons to stealth bomber

More plans and biker flames

Pink leopard and tropical fish

Baseball and the 2nd plane one.
These finished projects are helping my numbers, but my stash is still not moving downward. I'm breaking even this year.  Lots of tops are done, but they are awaiting pieced backs.  We'll see if I can break this roller coaster of up and down but no changes in the space on the shelves. lol

Fabric Added  -        12 yards since last reported
Fabric Added YTD - 39.5 yds
Fabric Used -           11.05 yds
Fabric Used YTD -   39.27 yds

Linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.

  3. Your pillow cases are adorable! The square in a square in another square is one of my favorite blocks to make. Sorry I can't help with a name for your quilt, my imagination isn't very good.

  6. A retreat is the best way to get a lot done, and you sure proved that! The quilt top is really pretty. Sorry I can't think of a good name. It's a square-in-a-square. Presuming all those pillowcases are for charity. Yes? They're great!

  8. Fun pillow cases, those will be very popular. The quilt turned out beautifully. As for the name how about "Fair and Square", "Back to Square One", "Square Cut Diamonds", or "Squared Away"?
