10 1/2 yards used this week. That's a quilt + backing, and 1.5 yards for the Easy Street Mystery.
Total usage for this year: 212 1/4 yards
The quilt is shown almost done here. Apparently I didn't take a picture after I put the borders on it, and now it's loaded on the long arm. So a final picture will have to wait.
This year I've been trying to track usage as I cut it. And I am *really* glad I'm not counting fabric in these days, because there's been much enhancement the last few weeks. But I need to figure out how I'm going to track usage/enhancement next year. Recording it as it is cut is certainly the most accurate option. But what about those quilts that get cut out then put on a shelf? (fortunately I only have 1 of those right now). Since most of my quilts end up in EQ6, I could use the fabric yardage from that, and count once the quilt is assembled. But I suspect the EQ over-estimates usage, and I know for some of my quilts it's completely wrong.
Well, I guess I still have 3 weeks to make a decision.

10+ yards used this week is great. I am also debating how I want to keep track of my ins and outs next year. I don't count my fabric out until the quilt is 100% finished, just easier for me that way. I like that you aren't counting your fabric as it comes in. I worry if I did that then I would buy a lot more than I already do and I already have a lot just waiting to be used.
