What was used:
- pieced NICU #3 and #4 approx. 3 yards stash
- pieced 2 backs and found 2 fabrics ok for NICU backs approx. 5 yards stash
- pieced bindings for all 4 NICU quilts approx. 1 yard stash
- backing fabric 4 yards
- background fabric 2 yards
- 2 novelty FQ's 1/2 yard
Total for this past week: 9 yards used and 6.5 yards in. Cool...I thought I might go positive there with more in than out. I'm a happy camper!
I was able to accomplish all my goals last week...I finished up the 4 little quilts for the hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were fun cuz I tried a couple of new techniques yet didn't commit to a big quilt.And the best news for last! I pieced a total of 16 (yes, 16!) log cabin blocks. my goal was 6 and boy, I was on a roll. Here is the stack and for fun, placed on the design wall (sorry for the wonky picture)
Goals for next week:
- piece more log cabin blocks (I need 36 total)
- shop the stash and cut for Greg's graduation quilt
- shop the stash and cut for Julie's nieces' quilt
- wash and piece back for QOV quilt
I also have two nieces and one nephew (one more college and two high shool) that will be graduating in June 2008. I know, I have my quilty work already piled up 'til summer :)

You've had a fantastic week, both stash busting and sewing! Can't wait to see all the quilts you've previewed for us!
You did get a lot done this week, Pat. Unlike me, who got very little done! Is this the brown and beige quilt you were mentioning? It looks just great!
You did have a great week. And what a great use of fabric, for the NICU quilts! Love the log cabin blocks.
