I've watched Leah's videos and am willing to give it a go. I already made 8 10-minute blocks. They are all from layer cakes so they are quite big and I don't mind practicing on them one bit. So, do I start watching Leah from the beginning again and make different designs on each 10 minute block. There are 5 blocks on each 10 minute block, so I could make 45 different designs. All I need is some backing and I'm ready to try. This is exciting!!! I'm willing to give quilting a try! You don't know what a big, big step this is for me!!!
I asked Rhonda if this should be a formal challenge so we will see what she says - but i would just go ahead and do it. I think everyone would love to see what you have done. i am going to take a look at Leah's blog again and i am going to definitely try a small project - maybe a wallhanging since i have 2 full size quilts in progress. i will post when i get it in gear.
