It's week 3 and I finally have a stash report with no additions!. Of course, I have no subtractions either but, at least everything stayed the same.
All of my projects are packed for retreat. On the plus side, if I finish half of what I want to finish, I'll be doing good!
My optomistic list of projects
4 pillow cases 2 3/4 yds
wonder wallets 1/4 yd per two
Cavs top a bunch o fabric
Browns top (it's nearly done now) a bunch o fabric
triangle top a massive amount of fabric
I used to count fabric as "used" only after a project is finished. I think I'm going to change that. Once a top is finished, not quilted but to flimsy, that fabric is used. Unless you want to disassemble a flimsy to re-use fabrics, they are out of your stash. So, if next week is productive, I'll have a great stash report. Well, that is if I don't have toooo much fun at It's a Stitch in Houston, and The Quilt Room in Huffman. Just in case,I'll need to be sure to finish projects as a counter balance!!!
Pop over to Judy's blog and see how the other participants are doing on their stashbusting!

Have a great time at the retreat! It sounds like you have a good plan for getting a lot done.
I am confident that you will have a productive retreat and still have fun too!
Have fun at the retreat. I think you will get much accomplished there.
With all of your plans, I just know you'll be showing usage of your stash next week. I hope you have a grand time at the retreat and the local quilt shops don't lure you in.....LOL
Great plans and stash report. I think you're low on your estimate for the pillow cases and that you'll use more. Figure on at least one yard per pillowcase, a little more if you had extra trim. Have fun at your retreat!
A retreat--have a great time! It's not ALL about sewing! I have to count mine as I finish it, I have lots of tops to the quilting stage, and need to FINISH them. Otherwise, I would gladly piece and not quilt! I do enjoy the hand part of binding though.
