Good Fortune is quilted and bound! YEAH!!! Another UFO bites the dust! I ran outside between raindrops to get this picture when I was at the retreat! I’ll show you a full view once I get a picture taken.

Piecing
I have 6 blocks done for 52 Blocks/ 52 weeks. That makes a total of 12 blocks done. I have block #13 to do and I will be caught up!
Quilting
There is NOTHING being quilted at the moment. That is strange for me!
Stash Report
I am always weak when I go to my annual retreat at Over the Rainbow. So, I did buy fabric … Three yards were an awesome grey Minkie that was such a good price, I couldn’t resist (that’s the grey to the right) and the rest were Island Batik fabrics. This is the first place that I have found that has a lot of Island Batik fabrics!
Good Fortune, a secret project and the Retreat bag were all finished this week!
* | Fabric Used this week: | 21.25 | yards | 18.5 for Good Fortune, 1.25 for retreat bag and 1.5 for secret project |
* | Fabric Used this year: | 75.15 | yards | |
* | Fabric Bought this Week: | 9.5 | yards | 3 yards minkie, 6.5 yards batik |
* | Fabric Added this Year: | 54.05 | yards | |
* | Net Fabric Used for 2019: | 21.1 | yards | |
* | Husband’s purchases | 6.5 | yards |

Gorgeous quilt – congrats on the finish! I love retreats and just came back from one. I think I have 4 quilts to quilt..maybe you should have one. Fortunately, they are all small.

Hi Kathleen!
Sorry, but I don’t want any of your quilts to quilt … I’m busy enough with my own projects. 🙂 Only 4 to quilt – that’s not too bad! 🙂
Happy Quilting! 🙂
