Stashbusting Report – Week 3

Not huge stashbusting strides so far but slow and steady works too.  Only 2 yards busted this week and a large portion of that used making some test blocks, screwing up the cutting measurements (more than once) and making unuseable sections.

Hopefully today I’ll get that top together since my brain finally kicked in and I found my math error last night.  I blame it all on the over zealous cleaning of the sewing room one day where I must have tossed my original pattern.

So after deciding to use my “favorite fabric” posted yesterday, I walked by this fabric

   That black fabric…hmmmm… that would look really cool in the blocks I’m making (it’s far more striking in person with the black and gray, hints of red and orange, and gold glitz smatterings)

So I’m thinking I may set aside the “favorite fabric” pieces for now — I will still make the blocks out of them – maybe for a tablerunner for the breakfast bar for me me me — and try this black for the larger project.

First things first — time to hit the shower, get some laundry started and find some breakfast.  Then I’ll clear off one layer of scraps and go find some fabrics to go with that black print and start cutting again.
