Design Wall Monday
I put together a simple Halloween table runner that is a gift for someone I work with. Strange to give a Halloween gift at this time but it’s a thank you gift for someone who loves Halloween. I sewed up scraps from two green & pink quilts I made a while back so I now have four orphan blocks. Peaking out behind the table runner is block #2 of the Vicksburg Free BOM from Dawn of Linen Closet Quilts. I also finished putting together the project with the green fabric that has been making limited appearances on the design wall and while I can’t show a picture of it yet, I CAN count the yardage as USED!!

Here’s a picture of the second Vicksburg block and I’m not sure I’m happy with my fabric choices but I’ll wait to see how it looks later.
Vicksburg #2
Block #4 is out already but Block #3 is actually 4 pieced blocks which I’ll get to soon. I’ve already started block #4 so I’ll catch up!
So I haven’t given a stash update for a while….I’ve been bad, sort of. I purchased the Halloween fabric I needed for the table runner (2.5 yds) which was on sale. So I picked up a purple and white piece of Halloween (3 yds). I used a 30% off coupon for Jackman’s Fabrics to get the darling green fabric with the cute birds from Red Rooster (2 yds) and the red dot fabric was only $3/yd! The Kaffe Fassett fabric is a Fox Tail (1/3 yd) from the Quilted Fox….isn’t it fun?
Stash Enhancement
So here’s the damages:
Added this week: ~9 Cumulative Added: ~ 25 yds
Used this week: ~5 Cumulative Used: ~20 yds
Net Out/(In): (~5 yds) Hmmmmmm…….not making progress here.

Welcome to the Wrong Way Club . . . my stashbusting figures were in the black for maybe a couple of weeks and I’ve been in the negative since! I am still trying very hard though and it’s a conscious effort!

Your design wall is a mess– or maybe it is just not coordinated right now, but then it doesn’t have to be. Have you done the First Sat. block which is due in 4 days? I haven’t.

So, we have been secretly adding to our stash, huh? You are Busted, with capital “B”.
