Wow!! What a great community here, I am a member of about 25 boards online for every hobby I am interested in, but I never really thought to look for quilting boards until today!! I cannot WAIT to look at all the posts here and hopefully get involved. I have been quilting on and off for 10 years though I only have about 6 completed projects to show for it!! :)
My newest project though is a 365 Day Quilt project, you basically journal on one block a day for 365 days, then sew it all up into a quilt. I am blogging about my journey here: http://scrapendipitydesigns.blogspot.com/ if anyone wants to see my take on this project. Has anyone tried this crazy project? Or does anyone want to? I think it makes it easier to stay committed to this type of thing if you have others with you pushing you along! Thanks for the great community here!! Cheers! Rachel |
25 boards?!?!? If they are as great as this one, I don't know when you have time to sleep. This place is addicting!
Hope you enjoy it here. |
Hehe, well I'm certainly not active on them all :) And this looks like a pretty hopping place, so hopefully I can keep up!! :) :)
Cheers! Rachel |
that is a really good idea, i can't wait to see the finished product :thumbup: :-)

Hey, I think I like the 365 block journal. How big are the blocks? With 365 I can't imagine their being TOO big? But they need to be big enough to write on legibly.

Welcome to the board Rachel-you will love it here.
How big are your blocks? This is such an awesome idea-I may just have to try it! Hugs April |
Welcome, glad you joined us. This is the best place for sure. Good luck with your 365 Day quilt project.

I am going to put up the details of my pattern on my blog today, but I have my journaling squares finishing at 4.5 inches and I will probably have 1/2 inch black sashing to make it look kind of like a window. The person I originally got this idea from (she did it in 2007) had rectangles that were 3.5 inches wide I believe. I wanted to make a King size quilt though, so I made mine bigger. I have some tips on the actual writing on the blocks part up on my blog and I also have a flickr group set up (linked from my blog) so people crazy enough to try this project can share tips, ideas, and encouragement. :)
Cheers! Rachel |
Oh and thank you for the warm welcome!! I am already learning so much from all the posts around here!! :)
