You are on 25 boards? When do you sleep?

Yay!! I cannot wait to see it! I am glad to have inspired you to do this, make sure you check in every so often, as we will need encouragement to make it all the way!! :)

Yesterday's block had the date, the superbowl number, who was playing and I had everyone at the party sign the block. There are just so many fun ideas for this project!

As for the number of boards I am a part of, 3/4 of them I rarely visit, and the other 1/4 I visit in spurts. I am soaking up all this great info here now so I am very active, but then I'll make my rounds to other boards in a few months and rotate back here. :) :) I love being a part of so many communities!! Plus they are all for completely different topics ... scrapbooking, budgeting, computer stuff, web design, sewing, grocery game, Halloween, writing, reenacting, the Kindle, and I even own a board for the Barnes & Noble nook. Whew now I'm tired!! LOL ..... I don't sleep really. :)

Cheers!
Rachel

Either those are very tiny blocks or you are going to have one monsterously large quilt. One a day? You are seriously ambitious. I have days I just want to quilt 24 hours and others I can do three or four where I am uninspired. Good for you and please share your pics when your done.

The blocks will either be 4.5 or 5 (if I do sashing) when I am finished. This will make a King size with the 5 inch blocks or a bit smaller with the 4.5 ones. So, yes, a huge quilt!! :) It's really not that much work each day, I just write a small story from the day on a square of fabric. The work will be actually putting the whole thing together at the end!! :)

Cheers!

I posted an update on my blog for my project (see link below). here are a few pictures of two of my blocks so far. I'd love to see anyone else's pics if you are doing this project! (Or if you want to do it, it's never too late!! I started on a completely random day myself!)
