April Fabric Usage

It's been a good fabric-usage month! I mostly owe that to finishing up my Connections quilt, all the prep for my Kantha quilt in-progress, and the start of a baby quilt that will be finished in a few days. AND, I brought in absolutely no yardage. I did, though, rearrange some of my stash in anticipation for spending the fabric shop gift card my coworkers gifted me when I retired last month.

Until last week, my colored solid stash was squeezed into just two cubbies - warm and cool colors. But since expanding my solids is the direction I'm headed, I combined some print fabrics (not pictured) to make a little more room for the solids. I also spent the gift card a couple of days ago, so expect May's numbers to be, let's say....interesting. 

I got a lot of good advice on how to go about spending my gift, so I'll share that in a future post. But meanwhile, here's my current stats.
