January Stash and Goals Update

Wow, we're already one month into 2018 already! January just flew by. Let's check out the state of the stash and see how I did on my goals.

Stash Report:
IN this month: 4-3/4 yards (Jackman's FQ sale - 3-3/4 yds;  So Inclined binding - 1 yd)
OUT this month: 18-1/8 yards (Boy I-Spy donation top - 2-3/8 yds.  Gave I-Spy Squares to Suzanne S - 5/8 yd.  Gave blue strips to Margaret - 3/8 yard.  So Inclined top, estimated 9 yds of my fabric; backing, 2-3/8 yds wide backing; 3/4 yds binding.  Roman Road top, my added fabrics (not BOM kits) - 2-5/8 yds.)
Month and YTD net change: 13-3/8 yards OUT

There were some finishes that I haven't blogged about yet. Roman Road is no longer languishing as a UFO, it's a flimsy, and I'll share it Friday.  So Inclined came back from the quilter and I got it bound; I'll share it in February. Lots of yardage out already this year, so no guilt for the FQ purchases at the beginning of the month.

Roman Road, detail

That should keep me busy. A couple of ongoing in-progress projects, writing a pattern, possibly a new piecing start, and work on a UFO. Enough variety to keep me interested and keep the blog interesting, too.
