I have nothing to report on the stash numbers for this week; 2.5m in, and 2.5m out, so nothing much has changed. I've used 102.6 metres this year and bought 21 metres for a net usage of 81.6 metres.
I finished the Milky Way top, and it turned out exactly as I wanted it to, which was a relief.
Imagine having kept the fabric all these years, and dreamed of making it, only to have it turn out ho-hum. But it didn't, and I can hardly wait to quilt this and start using it. It's been a very satisfying project from start to finish. The fabrics all came from stash, none at all were purchased for this, although I did 'borrow' half a metre from Mereth to finish off the four-patches.
It's Autumn, and I'm loving the cooler weather. So is Dolly, she's been racing around like a mad thing, full of energy and determined to make up for the months of inactivity over the hot summer. I think her convalesence is officially over!
It rained last night, and it's raining again now, which is wonderful. We took a little drive tonight, to see the heavy clouds and just enjoy the scenery.
This is my favourite time of year, and I'm happy as a clam right now. Look at the colour of those clouds!
Of course the rain means there are puddles, and Dolly found one on our evening walk.
I hear it's very soothing on the feet....

Oh, your blue top did turn out beautifully. It is so gratifying when a top sews up as planned, isn't it? You certainly have an artist's eye.
Your Milky Way quilt is beautiful. What a lovely quilt. Never thought of mud baths for aching feet before, hummmmm, I may have to try that out. LOL

Great quilt and autumn is my favorite time of the year too. Next up for us is hot weather which I'm not looking forward to. For now I will take the moderate days and the rain because I know soon enough that nice weather will be over.
Love your quilt! It turned out great.
It is stunning! All from stash too, that's amazing.
love the milky way and very pleased to hear you had some rain.........
Dolly is a Happy Dog again; oh that gorgeous scenery and sky!! Your quilt is beautiful, imagine it all being from stash.
Well there's nothing like a mud bath, is there? Love your quilt, and glad you are happy with how it turned out. As for the 100+ yards of fabric used?? I can't understand how you can do it!!
I've been at at trade show the last three days, but our puddles are still snowbanks! I would be like Dolly and soaking my feet, it DOES look soothing. And, you are a BAD influence on my friend Henrietta, she says we are going to make a Milky Way top next!
Like your Milky Way quilt, looks as if it will go together fast & easy too!
The inly time I have seen the Milky Way to rival our Aussie views is at 9,000ft. elevation in Colorado!
i have some blues, bet I could make this but I would have to buy some neutrals.
It was worth the wait, a beautiful quilt. And, a beautiful sky.
Oh, your Milky way quilt top turned out wonderfully!! Poor Dolly...she need to soak her feet in good cool mud every day...good for the cuticles, you know.
The quilt is lovely - I always feel very virtuous when I make one entirely from stash. Of course, I tend to keep the stash replenished and my quilts are scrappy so there's usually no reason for me to go out and buy fabric for a specific quilt.
Love the cloud photos. Autumn is my favorite season too although Spring is looking pretty good right about now.
Desculpe-me, mas mesmo não sabendo seu idioma, precisava deixar um comentário - O seu blog é maravilhoso! Parabéns!
