Oh Crumbs

Here’s what’s on my design wall for this first Monday in 2010!  Check out what other folks are working on at Judy’s Design Wall Monday post.

Despite wanting to get a top finished in 2009 so I could count the fabric as “used” in my stash report, I decided the crumb quilt needed more.   So I pull out the “scrap salad” and started making some 4 1/2″ crumb blocks for a border.

Scrap Salad

I only used 2 more yards of fabric, for the snuggler, by Dec 31st so I ended the year with approximately 1/2 yard added to my stash.  Heck, that’s close enough for me to call it even. :)

FINAL 2009 STASH REPORT:

Added:  0     Cumulative Added: ~ 25 yds

Used: 2         Cumulative Used: ~24 1/2 yds

Net Out/(In): (~ 1/2 yds)

I put together some of the 3″ nine patches I’ve made so I’d have a project to work on to improve my hand quilting.  Here’s the finished quilt which I gave as a Christmas present.  I quilted free-hand Baptist Fans compliments of Lazy Gal Quilting. I’m quite happy with the results and hope the recipient likes it too.

Mini

I’m busy hand quilting an applique project I did maybe 3 or 4 years ago.  I’m having to take bigger quilting stitches and I’m doing echo quilting so we’ll see if I like the results as much as this little mini.
