November Stash Report and Goals Update

I said last week I'd wait until the actual end of the month for my stash & goals report because I knew I could use those last few days to accomplish a little more, which I did. That means I can count out more stash. So, a few days late, here's the November update.

Stash Report: A lot in but even more out!

November IN: 15.5 yards (6-3/8 yards FQs; 2-1/2 yds wide backing; 3/8 yd binding for Crayon Challenge; 3/4 yard for Dancing Plus blocks; estimated 4 yards from Gwen's guild destashing event; 3/4 yd more for Dancing Plus blocks; 3/4 yd for binding for autumn forest quilt)
November OUT: 21 yards (3/8 yd binding for Crayon Challenge; 5 yds for backing for autumn forest quilt; estimated 9 yards for two Bento Box flimsies; 1-1/2 yds Forest Fellows prints given to STLMQG for ticket raffle; 2 yds mixed pieces given to Sandy in Bonnie Hunter colors; 5/8 yds binding for autumn forest quilt; estimated 2-1/2 yards for 21 more LCT blocks for QOV.)

YTD IN: 101-7/8 yards
YTD OUT: 127-1/4 yards
YTD Net Change: 25-3/8 yards OUT

WOW, I can't believe how much I've used this year. I'm definitely going to finish the year in the black. Unless I get really carried away at some end-of-the-year sales...

Many of those FQ's from the big sale early in the month ended up getting used in Dancing Plus blocks, a new project that's still in work.
