My unfinished project for September ( number 11) is Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt from last winter. It was called Orca Bay. I started it when the mystery started and didn't even get the first step finished by the time the next step came out. It became clear I wasn't going to have time to finish it so I added it to my UFO list for this year. I have been working on it all month but only have a stack of units to show. I love the way it is going to turn out I just ran out of month!! My number 6 UFO for October is a table runner that shouldn't take much time so I will continue to work on my September UFO and maybe will have a finished project in October.

Stash Report Week 39
Wow, where has September gone? I think I say that every month! I can't seem to get in a consistent blogging routine. I know that I have made several things this month but honestly I didn't keep track of the fabric so I will give you the report for this week. I have been working on Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay quilt. I am using lots of scraps so I am guessing at how much yardage I have used. I also made my quilt for the color challenge and made backing for 2 quilts this week so I have several yards to count. Pretty good numbers for the year. One thing this stash report has done has made me very aware of the fabric I was purchasing and has encouraged me to use what I have so I don't have to add to my stash purchase numbers.
Week number- 39
Used this week- 10yards
Used this year- 91.75yards
Purchased this week- 2 yards
Purchased this year- 37.5Yards

Color Challenge for August
When I saw this color challenge for August I had to think about it for awhile. Even though it was basically red, blue and a neutral I wanted to go a different direction. I had a fabric collection for several years that had the basic color scheme. I also saw an asymmetrical quilt in a recent quilting magazine and thought I would try it. The dark color scheme and the asymmetrical quilt were both out of my box but I liked the results
Now on to the September challenge.
