Sweet Tooth and Temperature Quilt 2025 Fabrics

Purchased backing fabric for 2024 temperature quilt

Goal number five on my December list was to order the fabric for the Sweet Tooth Mystery. This mystery is through Modern Quilt Studio (Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle.) It will begin February 14. Sign ups for the mystery will become available soon too. 

Ordering early was because I wanted plenty of time to pre-wash my fabrics. This year, the fabric bundle will be in half yards rather than in fat quarters. When it arrives, it will increase my yardage in by 22 yards.

2024 temperature quilt

I've been putting in the hours quilting my granddaughter's Rainbow Scrap Challenge String quilt. My goal is to finish it in time for Christmas. It is going to be close!! If I do finish, I'll be able to add to the amount of fabric that left my stash before the end of the year! If both of these purchases arrive in this calendar year, overall I will have added to my stash which is not the direction I had planned to be going!!!!

This month I purchased four yards of an orange print that I plan to use as a back for my 2024 Temperature quilt. I have yet to quilt the tops for 2021 and 2022-2023. Maybe in January, I can get one of the tops layered and basted!

Finally, I ordered, 21 yards of Superior Solids from Benartex fabric for my 2025 Temperature quilt. I posted about the process I used to determine my palette in this post. Ordering the fabric for this project was goal number eight on my December list. I don't know when this will arrive.

Next year, I plan to track my fabric in numbers as well as my fabric out numbers.
