The first week of 2011, and I have some stashbusting to report. Used yardage is for the backing for the Quilt Bug New Year's Mystery from 2008. I finally got that loaded on the longarm. Quilting is not quite done yet, but I count my yardage as I use it.
Editing my original post - I forgot to add in the backing fabric my mom gave me for Christmas yesterday.
In this week: 0 yds
Out this week: 4.4 yds
In YTD: 8 yds
Out YTD: 4.4 yds
Net for 2011: 3.6 yds
I don't plan to NOT buy fabric this year, but I am going to make an effort to use the fabric I already have - I liked it when I bought it, so I ought to use it!

Ah, but the lighting is different at home so fabric loved at the fabric store isn't as adorable at home.
I like your philosophy..."I liked it when I bought it, so I ought to use it!"
The fabrics I am not in love with anymore find their way into backings so it all works.
Gotta love making backs for busting stash! Great start!
Wait - it counts when your Mom gives you stuff??
Good plan.
