Big Finish!

Like I said in THIS POST about my big finish - I am not sure if I am happy about it or sad.  There are so many memories attached to this quilt.  But I am not going to "unfinish" it, so .....

23+ years in the making!!

We are heading out soon to pick up Little S to come home for Thanksgiving break.  I know we will be doing a bunch of errands and appointments and cooking this week, but I am still hopeful that I make some progress on the binding for Dear Jane.  

15 Minutes to Stitch

15 minute days last weeks = 5/7
15 minute days/Nov = 16/22
15 minute days/2025 = 285/346
Success Rate = 82%
 
Now I can report the backing out!  Earlier in the year I had hopes of hitting 100 yards of fabric out and I don't think that is going to happen.  But I am pleased with over 100 yards used.  Just as long as I am moving forward, right? 

2025 Stash Totals
Used last week: 2.09 yards 
Used year to date: 110.5 yards
Acquired recently: 0 yards  
Acquired year to date: 42 yards
Net used in 2025: 68.5 more yards used

  1. Hooray for a total finish! I too had a goal of 100 yards of fabric out and I'll likely not make it; but, like you, I've used over 100 yards. I agree. . .we are both moving forward and progress always rocks!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

  3. Our quilts hold such great memories of where we got the fabrics, when we made them and what was happening to us at the time!!! Beautiful finish!!!

  4. Hope you have lots of fun family time this week. Stitching time can wait. You've done really well with both your metrics this year. Have a very happy Thanksgiving.
