My Quilt Every Day results
This what I did for Quilt Every Day during March: For the first part of the month I stitched together 3-inch rail fence blocks into pairs, 10 minutes a day. You can see the stack here.
Then I remembered an upcoming deadline and switched to my April BOM for Citrus Belt Quilters, Tulip vase . This is the block that will go in the sampler quilt. It’s a no-triangle pieced basket block with fusible appliqué flowers on top. You can find the block instructions on the CBQ Block of the Month webpage.
Here is the middle panel for the Quilt of the Month. You won’t find the instructions for this one yet because I haven’t sewn on the borders. Actually I did quite a bit more than 10 minutes a day to get all these baskets done the last part of March.
Confession time
I must admit that I have not done even one stitch since April began. That habit I made so easily is now so easily gone. All is not lost though. I have a lot of writing to do these days, patterns and other stuff that I have been working on every day instead. BOM time is coming up as well so I’ll need to sew the May block before you know it.
I wasn’t going to continue offering the challenge month after month, but I felt so productive that I have since changed my mind. I hope you will keep going with your 10 minutes a day and will stop by my blog with your link at the beginning of each month to share what you’ve accomplished. I promise I will start up my 10 minutes a day again (not today, but soon!) I’ll set up a special post for Quilt Every Day the first of each month and you can put the link to your post in the comments section. That will probably be the most simple way to manage it. Can’t wait to see what you do for April!
happy quilting!
Wow, you got so much done! Thanks for running the challange and offering to do it again. I’m in for the next month, too!
Hi; thanks for leaving a comment. I did not get as much done as I’d like. I’m still struggling with that quilt. I’m going to try harder in May, if it goes again.
Hi Laura! You’ve been tagged for seven random facts. Checkout my blog for details…
Love your basket blocks! thanks for the challenge – it helped me get a lot done. I hope to continue the habit too – when I’m not traveling.
