Recycled Swap

posted Saturday, 3 May 2008

My quilt group has a workday planned in a couple weeks.  I volunteered to bring enough foundation pieces and red center strips to make 30 twelve-inch strippy blocks.  I recycled a stack of red fabric strips from a strip swap a few years ago with the same group.  I cut them down to the correct size so they’re ready to go.

I could have used those strips at least a dozen different times over the years, but I always forgot I had them.  Since I know this fabric is outta here no matter what, I’m counting it as busted.  That’s a whole yard out the door! 

 

Has anyone noticed it’s so much easier to give fabric away than use it up?

 

Fabric in this week:  0 yards

Fabric in YTD:  9.25 yards

 

Fabric out this week:  1 yard

Fabric out YTD:  17 3/8 yards

Yep, I'd count it as busted too. Good for you!
