Post 2 - 2016 Review - quilts, stash, and thread

I managed to make 24 quilts in 2016 varying from some cute dog quilts to queen sized quilts.

1. Music quilt 1/14/16

2. Hayden's t-shirt quilt 78" x 90" Done 2/4/16

3 - 10 Doggie quilts 2/22/16

11. Moda Nocturne 56" x 73"

12. Harley t-shirt quilt 84" x 96" August 2016

13. AC/DC 71" x 71" August 2016

14. Baby quilt

15. Kathy's quilt 72 x 84.5 September 2016

16. Glenda t-shirt wall hanging 29 2/4" x 42" October 2016

17. Flannel quilt for Brian 72" x 87.5" 10/30/16

18. tea towel quilt 69" x 79" Nov. 26, 2016

19. baby quilt for Zachariah 36 x 44.25" Dec 11, 2016

20. baby quilt for stash 34.75 x 50" Dec 11, 2016

21. Modern piece 39.5" x 40"

22. pink zig zag 42" x 54.5"

23. log cabin 37" x 47.5"

24. Orange log cabin 36.75" x 50.5"

With making these quilts I used 27,620 yards of quilting thread. I had bought 24,000 yards of thread in 2016 - mostly cones of black, gray, and navy for t-shirts quilt - but overall I am down 4,000 yards from what I started with in 2016.

I emptied 29 spools this year.

My fabric stash has also been reduced. I bought 23.75 yards in 2016 and used 98.25 for a reduction of 74.5 yards. I did not count the fronts of the t-shirt quilts as part of my stash. I straightened out my fabric storage room while I was off and have reconfirmed the fact that I don't need to add to my stash this year so I won't be buying anything unless I need something very specific.
