2019 H2H Final Count

Well it's finally here, the final count.  I really focused on using up flannel and made a good job of reducing my stash this year.  I went from 4 large containers to 1 1/2 containers of scraps.  I'm really happy with getting it out of here. So here is my final count -- 23 total.

Jack's Baskets -- 14

Quilty Hugs -- 8

Carolina Hurricane Project -- 1 (queen)


The above quilt was my leader/ender while making other quilts.  It is not flannel but still used up a large piece of fabric from the stash (the cream one).  This quilt is called Sunny Lanes from the Nickel Quilts book.  It is a really easy leader/ender quilt to make.  I didn't use the method in the book for the 4-patches choosing instead to use my stash of 2 1/2" squares.  I did use the books method for the 1/2 square triangles.

I love this challenge every year.  It really forces me to use up my stash which is taking over my space.  Now that the challenge is over I can focus on some of my other projects.  First up is adding binding on a couple of customer quilts and then making a store display for Yards of Fabric in Mason, MI. Then maybe I can focus on some of my UFO's.
