Fabric Post and my WIP # 5

So far so good!  I can tell you this fabric fast has not been easy.  I have been tempted but have not bought any extra fabric.  Here is what I did buy and since I am working on the quilt and needed it to finish it - it was part of my exceptions.  My goal is to finish my WIP especially the ones from last year.

Moda Friendship Quilt

The blocks were all from stash and I made them last year.  I ran out of the grey Kona color so I needed more to finish up the set in triangles.  I have gotten the rows sewn together just need to sew up the extra blocks. This one is probably going to be close to 90 x 90.  So I knew I was going to need a back.  I had a 40% off for my LQS so I bought this for the backing. I will probably need to do some piecing on it as well since I didn't plan for how really big this one is going to be.  

My exceptions for purchasing were for backs and background if needed.  That means I have to be working on them to buy them not just for something that I think I will need a back for.  That can be a very slippery slop!

I have been sewing from stash and making some progress.  All 80 blocks are done for the Badger Graduation quilt.  All the fabric came from stash.  I plan on raiding anything with black, red or grey for the back.  I have started on the rows.  I am really hoping to finish this one up in February yet!

I took this stack a fabric from a box I had been saving for about 12-13 years.  The stack to the left.

I made this quilt and working on finishing up the quilting.  I used almost all the fabric in the box too!  Simple sewing and I had this together in a night.  It is nice to know not everything has to take months to finish!

This quilt was not even on a to do list. I just decided I needed to sew a kids quilt for charity and get it finished so here is hoping for a Friday Finish.

I can tell you having to go to the quilt shop each month for Moda Club has been harder than I thought it would be.  Each month is a featured fabric with a fun project how to and then 20% off all Moda all the time.  Once she gets some of the new lines in - not sure that I can hold out and not buy.  I really like the line Color me Happy!  Yep - she is getting that one!

I am just happy I have not bought any extras while I have been in there at least 4 or 5 times!  Almost through February and based on what I have going I should not need any backings or backgrounds.  I have lots to sew through yet.  I can tell you my stash does not feel any light yet either.  I am keeping track of total yards I am using so next month I might have to report on that.

Good luck and linking up with Fabriciholics Anonymous at Making Rebecca Lynne, Let's Bee Social and WIP Wednesday.
