I had 2 main goals for this week, and the first one is already checked off - this Quilt of Valor flimsy. Both side borders were sewn onto it early on Sunday afternoon, and the strips for the top and bottom were ready. I actually wrote my Monday post on Sunday about supper time, which way ahead of time.
But then my husband decided to go to a movie that I didn't care to see - leaving me with a whole evening to myself. I don't often go back to the sewing room in the evenings, but I knew that in less than an hour I could have this top all finished. I probably should have updated that Monday post, but I didn't remember to do that. Oops!!
And I was right - in less than an hour I had it all assembled. Check this off my list. The pattern was for a QOV sew-along hosted by Alycia at Quilty Girl.
This is the second pattern of hers that I've made recently. Last fall I joined in on the sew-along she hosted over the summer. She does beautiful QOV designs.

On a side note - I've been tracking fabric (in and out) this year with a goal of using up more of what is already in the stash. However, in January and February I purchased backing fabric for several projects so the total for that IN column was really scary. But now I've gradually been able to check off some finishes so I'm feeling better about the numbers.
Fabric IN = 102.75 yds - YIKES!!!
Fabric OUT = 68.75 yds
34 yards on the plus side yet, but getting better!! The only QOV yardage I'm going to count as "out" will be when it comes directly from my stash, like these 2 quilts.
