A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about these ten-year-old double-pinwheel orphan blocks (read the story here). The quilt is now finished and ready for a new home, probably a charity.
The scrappy back...
...and a closeup shot of the free-motion quilting...
With the completion of this quilt, I have now used up at least 15 (!) yards-worth of fabric out of my stash/scraps/orphans in the month of January. And a bunch of leftover batting, too. And I have so much thread that I won't be needing to buy any of that for years. Not a penny spent on anything except for the electricity for the iron and sewing/quilting machines.
It feels very freeing to use this stuff up, but I shake my head at how much fabric I still have.

it feels great to use things up doesn't it - I have a lot in this sewing room that I wonder if I will ever use it all
Wowza! I really like this quilt. How many completed this month? I've lost count. Awesome job using up what you have!
