Those "just because" quilts have really sung. And it feels like you again. I'm going to say something that I hope you take the right way, but I felt a little lost on your blog when you were fabric designing. To me, it became a bit corporate and (for lack of a better word) manufactured. Not to say I didn't love your fabrics, but I missed you. I kind of feel like you're back. (please, please take this the way I mean it, which is chock full of love and squishy cuddles).<br />I'm following along again, and really looking forward to seeing you 2017 makes - I hope they continue to reflect you and your voice and your joy in the making.<br />E xxErin Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733465690557189717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-19436908549903140512017-01-07T07:39:03.191-05:002017-01-07T07:39:03.191-05:00Thank you!

Do you use a spreadsheet you use to keep track, or just photo journeys?

In ter...I count yardage once a project is finished! In terms of how I account for how much fabric I use it depends on the project. Some projects use up even amounts of yardage, so the math is easy. For projects that use smaller pieces, I'll use the number of squares and rectangles to calculate how many square inches of fabric it took, then divide by the number of square inches in a yard. There is some estimation/rounding, but it's relatively accurate. I like math, so I enjoy being pretty specific about it! If I use most of a fat quarter, I typically round it up.<br /><br />It's certainly a personal preference to do it this way, I'd just be consistent, however you choose to track!Jeni Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766510979539197035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-56438569122606180252017-01-05T14:35:41.521-05:002017-01-05T14:35:41.521-05:00This is probably a really dumb question, but how a...This is probably a really dumb question, but how are you tracking your yardage use? Do you count it after you have made a quilt, do you count scraps? I love the idea of tracking how much I'm using vs. buying, but I haven't figured out a good way to do it. I bought some fabric last year, but I've been really trying to use up some of the fabric I already have, especially larger scraps.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17215130935097944649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2868583750761494400.post-45818151007158119142017-01-05T11:39:05.271-05:002017-01-05T11:39:05.271-05:00Wow, you made a lot of beautiful things in 2016.
