Stash Report - January 4, 2015 - RMH #1

Wishing you the best - happiest - most wonderful
New Year ever!

My first quilt of 2015!

This RMH quilt is one I saw over at "Quilting is more fun than Housework".  I had the fabric so decided to go for it, with a few changes.

It is a large lap quilt as it fits perfectly on the top of a queen bed.

I had some zebra print for the back - 

I used the left over backing for the binding.

My 1/2 square triangles finished at 5.75 inches - such an odd size for me as I usually only sew in whole or half numbers.

I am not sure why I have animal prints or when or where I bought them and I think I have enough for at least 5 more quilts!

More hexie flowers for a total of 70 - 

Deanna shared a great notebook on her blog. I went to Walgreens and bought a couple of them.

The left side of the page is graph paper and the right is lined. $6.99 each. I think these will be perfect for designing quilts and blocks. 

I only count fabric as out when the quilt is 100% finished.
