Fabric Diet: February 2018

3/5/2018

February fabric diet totals are in the book, and full disclosure - I've been sortof avoiding writing this post. Why? Because I bought a lot of fabric this month, and didn't sew a whole lot.  But more on that in a minute. First, let's celebrate the little bit of sewing that I did this month.  Shown above is my "Blue Strings" quilt. I made this quilt to test a technique for sewing string blocks. For this project, I used 7 1/2" squares of printer paper as my foundation.  This method worked just fine, but I don't love ripping out the foundation paper once the blocks are assembled.  Before I start my big memory quilts using this method, I think I'll try another technique. Stay tuned.  I do love how this baby quilt top turned out though. I am still very much in love with navy and dusty medium blues mixed with gray and off white.

So what did I do this month if I didn't get much sewing done? I went on a glorious family vacation to the Bahamas, and then went to QuiltCon.  Both were amazing, but for very different reasons. I plan to write a separate blog post for my 2018 QuiltCon experience, but let me just say here that I knew that I would buy fabric at QuiltCon and I was ok with that. It's so rare that I get to buy fabric in person (not online), so I let myself go with it.  Plus, as I said last month, I'm feeling like my stash needs to be rounded out a bit after using up/giving away so much last year.  Shown above is what I brought home from QuiltCon (plus a little bit of canvas fabric that wasn't included in the photo). I went a bit nuts at the new Crafted Moon booth and had fun picking up some notions, pins, and things in addition to lots of fabric.

Here is how the month of February finished out:

Fabric Diet Standings
Fabric Purchases: 21 yards
Fabric Used in Projects: 3 yards
Net for the Month: 18
Net for the Year: 23.25

I really hope to sew a lot more in March, and have already finished a few projects. Make sure to follow me on Instagram (Handmade Myrth) to see what I'm working on currently.  In April, I go to Sewtopia in Salt Lake City. I am sure I'll be purchasing fabric there at the shop hop and at the pop-up shop, so I need to have a big sewing March to justify more fabric shopping.

Thanks for stopping by!
