Are you working outside your comfort zone...I am...

What a neat idea! I would love to see a picture of the quilt you made!
I once belonged to an online quilt club, something like this forum. They had an idea where they had you challenge yourself, do something put of your comfort zone. Very small wall quilts or just a few blocks. My challenge was two fold. I am a "matchy-matchy girl" (in their terminology....everything has to match and coordinate). So I chose 42 four inch squares of the most ugliest fabrics ever created. Then did the drunkards path square...cutting the "pie" and the "crust" from each square of fabric . Putting each half into different bags, shaking them, then pulling a crust and a pie and sewing them together. Two very hard things to do....creating curves from fabric that didn't go together and making it work. I am so proud of how it turned out. It hangs on my dining room wall.
I love the colors you chose. Look forward to seeing the finished product

I have been watching the free crafty BOM this morning...finishing the quilt. I did not make the quilt, but I did do a few and made a quilt - I made the string block - quite a few...that is my favorite block. I also tried a few of the other blocks. Now seeing if I can get any tips for finishing the quilt.

Yes, I find many of my UFO's are because I reach one of those out of my comfort zones. I STOP, sometimes I am able to sleep on it and figure it out, or I do additional research either with tutorials, you tubes, this site, more books, and often it stays patiently, waiting for me to grasp that step so I can move forward. (Also, my seam ripper.) (It would be nice to have a Mom, Grandmother at that time) Love your colors and values.
