Challenges?


OK, remember my big mega project?

You know I must be a glutton for punishment or something. I am the lead quilter on the Smithers Centennial 2013 Quilt Project. No photos yet of the entire quilt because that is still 16 months away!! But I did have a deadline of June 30th for the blocks to be handed to me from the other 9 artist participating.

Then in May one of the artists couldn't commit, then today another one decided that the deadline was not happening in her life either.

So there I was in a  moment of heart pounding shock. I stayed calm on the phone, but inside my insides were turning around and exploding!

I thought happy thoughts and calmed down. Its still 15 months away and well, I'm up for the challenge. Then I opened my email and there was a nice post from Funky Junk's blog and she posed a question to her readers.

 
As I read  her post, I found this challenge, I realized that yes, I'd make three blocks for this quilt and I'd do it with style.

Here is what my one scary thing challenge is.

I need to draft three blocks on graph paper for the Smithers Centennial Quilt Project. 

Its simple, design and draft the three blocks. 

I had thought that the one I started for Sir Alfred Smithers would work, but the more I do on it, the less I like it, so here's what I'm not doing for the quilt.

All the best,

  3. Well, I did meet my target of drafting a whole new design without two additional blocks for the center part of the quilt. Its going to be an awesome change!
