I completed another baby quilt from a panel, and came in just under the wire to claim my final finish for the year!
I looked back through my archives of stash reports. In 2010 I only kept track of fabric used, as I started part-way through the year.

I've been pretty consistant in my fabric usage, but did better "shopping my stash" some years than others. Some years the clearance sale sirens sang a louder song than others, and this past year, we spent more time with our grandson, and I didn't make too many larger projects. I also quilted more quilts for my guild's community quilt program over the past year, and I quilt with my Bernina B710, with a larger throat, but still much slower than a sit down or long arm machine. Next year I will be starting with a deficit, as I have ordered 25 baby quilt panels, which will be completed and donated to my guild over time. They haven't arrived yet, so I didn't have to count them for 2017!
I'll still keep track - I love adding a finished project to the list, and seeing the list grow over the year, just as I love all the aspects of quilting from start to finish.
I wish everyone a wonderful "quilty" and productive new year!
