Midweek: Hourglass finish, OMG completed, and the stash report

 

Arabic Hourglass is finished.  I did rip out and re-sew the misturned blocks. However, as I basted it I found a dark block next to a dark block.  I left that one alone.  



I pieced the left over blocks into the back. 



I started and finished three other quilts this month.  The baby quilt (on the left) was my One Monthly Goal. The others just happened!

BTW, the baby arrived November 16.  His mother had some complications but both she and the baby are doing well.  The postponed shower will instead be a welcome party sometime in the new year.

The stash report for November:

Fabric IN:  157-1/2 yards (138 from an estate sale and 19-1/2 from the guild free table).  $265.00 = $1.68 per yard. 

Fabric OUT:  61-3/8 yards.

Fabric IN, YTD:  2016 yards, $2047.00, $1.01 per yard.

Fabric OUT, YTD:  985-1/4 yards.   

Net GAIN: 1031.  Yikes!  But I could've spent time at the casino (or one of the numerous "play slots here" places), which I did not.

  2. Yikes, indeed! Do you have LTD (Lifetime-to-Date) IN and OUT numbers (or a close facsimile thereof)?

  7. Had the same thing happen with my sister--baby came on the day of the shower so we just had it later, to welcome the baby. Wow you've had such a productive month! Love each of these quilts they are so pretty, but especially Arabic Hourglass. Stunning! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

  10. I am always astounded when you do one of your 'fabric in-fabric out' posts. I can't imagine it!
