I have been progressing steadily since August, sewing 2 7/8 inch squares into Half Square Triangles (HSTs). My container had been so full, that not another scrap of fabric would fit and still close the cover. Here is what is left! Still enough to make a twin sized quilt.



Enjoyed some of the pleasant Fall weather today with a backyard french fry and marshmallow char. Yes, that is the Christmas train in the back.



Leftover bunnies from Easter marshmallows can char nicely.

Here's an example of the crummy meander quilting I did on the Witch quilt. I have now taken all of it out and am in the process of requilting. If I had used orange thread, it would have looked pretty good, but the purple was just awful.

50 Quilt Tops from Stash?

I plan to get a little more involved in using up my stash now that I have a new Bernina and can quilt much more easily. I know now of 2 women who spent 2 years using up all their stash in many, many quilts. I have UFOs and excessive stash, so I'd like to make an updated 2 year goal to try and dwindle that down and complete projects. For now, I want to make the goal of finishing 50 quilt tops. I don't typically make small children's quilts, so this is fairly ambitious, but at the same time, the goal is not to get them all quilted, either. Once I have the tops done, then I will know what fabrics I can use for backings.

So, this goal starts in November. A finish will be either a top or a quilted/tied quilt that is primarily made from stash or a UFO.
