First a link to Smilebox that will show all the quilts.
This is old stuff now! Last month was the BEVQ
(Blue Earth Valley Quilters)
And the woodcarvers too.
The challenge quilts were made from the same fabric packets bought the year before. You can do as you please. Any size, any style and add fabric if you want. But you must use all the fabrics.
I don't remember how I found this, but I thought it was pretty cool.
I did this in an afternoon. I didn't mark my batting. I used the straight edge of the next strip as my guide and that worked for me. I also pressed each strip as I sewed them on. I failed to curve both sides, so I have some straight edges in there too. I wasn't happy about this, but I had used all ten fabrics and called it done.
I was very surprised with a ribbon. 2nd place. Wow.
It shows that you shouldn't judge your own work.
While you may not be that impressed with what you did....someone else might be.
There was the jelly roll derby race on Friday night.
Here is mine. I think it will make a wonderful throw on the floor baby quilt. I had high hopes of quilting it myself right away. But it it still just a top in the closet.
This is Karen's finished top.
We were the ONLY TWO contestants!
She won by about 15 inches.
The event has been cancelled for next year due to lack of participation.
Dang. How can I try and beat her? She won last year too.
The Tula Pink 100 quilt blocks continues.
We are over half way now.
We are in a new school year. Sewing is pretty sporadic. I did pick up a finished quilt last week,
or was it two weeks ago....
Anyway, I still want to get the binding on that soon.
It is the gift for the wedding that was last May.
