Sweet Tooth Finished--post six

View of the quilting pattern and pieced back

I used a polyester batting and the longarmer quilted a circular design. I love the texture the quilting provided! It was the first time that I've tried a polyester batting. I like it; but, I like wool or 80/20 batting better!

Brown binding & close up of the quilting

I did buy a little more of the dark brown print so that I had enough to bind two quilts and make at least one hanging sleeve. I also bought some background fabric to use with the extra transparency blocks that I made before constructing the back to this project.

Label

For the label, I used a light box to copy the design using pigma pens to color the sections. I like how the label turned out!

Finished front

I used nine yards of fabric for this project. Documenting this finish was goal number one on my September list.

At least 30 years ago, I acquired a yard and three quarters piece of wool blend. I believe my mom gave it to me from her stash. I took it because it was red and thought I would make a skirt. I didn't. Earlier this month, I decided to take it to the free table at the guild meeting. If it went, awesome. If it didn't, I decided I would figure out a use for it. It went! 

A bit of yardage

I have a number of pieces of "fashion fabric." I know I'm not going to sew these so it is time to find another home for them that is preferably not in the landfill! This led me to the question: What do you do with the fashion fabric you aren't going to use? I'd like to know! 

Including that piece of wool blend, I have now "used" 20.75 yards of fabric from my stash this month. For the year, I have used 103 yards from my stash. With my purchases during the year though, my net loss of fabric is 41 yards of fabric. I'm a long way from meeting my goal of 100 yards; but, I'm making progress!
