Cloth Napkins, Burp Clothes & More

Last week I reported that a lot of fabric had come in, but I was missing some of the numbers - and some of the fabric.

Fabric In: Filling in the gaps this week.
White 100% cotton fabric still on the bolt.  I finally took it off the bolt to wash and it was 5 yard 16 inches.  For $2.  It had a musty stored smell, but once it came out of the washer it was nice and fresh again.
White cotton - very practical!
Aqua and gray chevron 100% cotton flannel  0.75 yards.  I had already used it so I had forgotten all about it.
Great color combination!
FQ scraps from the thrift store.  0.33 yds
Gray & Yellow/gold
Fabric Out:
4 burp cloths - chevron flannel backing w/ gray fronts 1.5 yds
Might make a chevron quilt to go with these.
2 burp cloths - John Deere w/ green and yellow flannel backings 0.75 yds

Fall cloth napkin set of 10 (14" square) - 1.56 yds
These came out as well as I imagined!
Black & White cloth napkin set of 6 (11.5" square) - 0.6 yds

July fabric giveaway - 0.8 yds
Already being made into something by the July winner!
Backing for the Cowboy Quilt got made and the quilt is sandwiched and ready to quilt, but I'll hold off reporting until the quilting is finished.
Dark brown backing

Don't forget to check out the August Giveaway.  Help me get more fabric out of the stash.


Kate over at Life In Pieces has challenged us to try to stitch 15 minutes each day.  This week was a bit more normal so I had a more progress overall.  Most days well over 15 minutes!!

Days stitched since last report: 7/7
Days stitched this year: 224/244
Success Rate: 92%

Linking up to QuiltPaintCreate and Life in Pieces to keep accountable.

  3. You've got some very fun burp cloths there. I really like the John Deere ones. A good week of destashing and a great week on finding time to stitch. Hope this week is as good.
