When I work downstairs in my quilting room, I always have my "Mom's Quilting notebook" dutifully at my side. YES, it needs to be labeled with strict rules that it is MOM'S NOTEBOOK, otherwise three little sets of hands will snatch it to make pretty pictures in....or be used as a waitress' notepad....or as a scientist's field guide......{{You get the picture}}
This is where I keep track of all my yardage/strips/scraps used...
...or notes on blocks I've seen that don't come with a pattern. {Thanks again, Angela, for sharing some basics of the Scrap Block....so CUTE!}I had been kinda dieing to know what the verdict of these past two weeks would be after slicing and sewing so much fabric for With Heart and Hostess with Heart.

I really should do something like this too. Not so much to keep track of fabric usage but ideas and where I am on projects. I have bookmarks on webpages but it's just not as easy as flipping through a notebook.
Nice totals this year! You're far in the black. I'm also sure considering how productive you seem to be in the summers that you'll easily double your total used.
I have little books like that all over that I use for everything, especially keeping track of usage. :)
Great work on your numbers!!
Great stash busting. I use the computer for tracking my stash. I'd never be able to keep up with a notebook!
Your numbers look great! Good luck reaching your goal this summer!
