I had some finishes this month; thus, I had good stash usage. I've been making an effort to use as much as possible from my stash this year, and my stats are looking good.
The big finish was Cherry Jubilee. The fabrics in the top were already counted out, but now that it's finished I can count the backing and binding.
Cherry Jubilee
Backing for the UFO baby quilt also counts, as does the top of the pinwheel baby quilt (no photo yet).

Goals Update
This month was so-so on the goals front. Some accomplishments, something extra, and something untouched.
August Recap:
1. Quilt Cherry Jubilee next time I have a time slot on the long arm. Done. Also bound; needs label.
2. Assemble the Teal Blocks into a top. No, not touched.
3. Test a smaller scale Scrappy Serendipity block for a baby quilt. Done. Not pursuing this because it consumes more than my available one yard of background fabric.
4. Make a back for the red & black churn dash. Done.
5. Work on the confidential project from retreat. Progress.
6. Start thinking about a new complicated long term piecing project. Started cutting for a new scrappy project; don't know how long term it will be.
Other: pieced a windmill baby quilt top. No photos yet; separate post coming soon.
September Goals:
1. Help Edna quilt her large quilt on the long arm. May take two sessions.
2. Assemble the teal blocks into a top.
3. Piece franken-batting for the red & black churn dash top.
4. Piece backing for the Postage Stamp top. See if I have enough batting off-cuts to franken-batt together for it.
5. Make progress on the Leftover Strata top.
6. Make progress on the new scrappy project.
7. Make backing for windmill baby quilt.
