Somehow through a link
on Judy's stash report
I came across the
What a neat idea:
join and sew blocks,
for a total of 350 a year,
Goal for January is 20.
Sounds more doable for me
than committing to full tops
or completed quilts.
So I signed up with Shelly
at Prairie Moon Quilts -
and selected my blocks.
First off:
Swoon block # 3,
a long ago UFO
that lingered due to a
major cutting operator error...
Had to add some additional seams,
but I finished 1 new block!
Next up I had seen Pat Sloan's
Before:
It used up some scraps
and no longer loved white fabric.
After: I got one 8 x 8 block done -
The single square size is 2 1/2 inch.
And lastly my real project Grand Illusion,
now working on the border.
Before:
After: 6 blocks completed.
Yeah - a total of 8 blocks
for the 20 blocks in January challenge.
Not quite there yet,
but am committed to sew
more GI border blocks
to hit the goal.

I was thinking that making 350 blocks in the year would make a huge quilt. DUH -- any block you make for any quilt works. Lightbulb moment. Good luck doing this -- it should help you make progress on several fronts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I love your Swoon block. That is one I have wanted to make, but haven't... yet. And your Hip to be Square block is great, too.
ReplyDeleteI almost missed your post - didn't expect to see the red/white block from you. Good idea to get some UFOs out of the way. Hope you are practicing the quilter's knot...LOL The Swoon block is really pretty!!!
