Great job on that challenge! I've printed out most of the blocks, but not all. Some did not appeal to me at all, so I'm hoping to substitute a different block for them. I haven't started sewing yet, so who knows if that will ever happen. Also, I'm planning on a scrappy quilt. Time will tell. But your quilt is looking mighty fine!

Very nice - 3 inch blocks, whew -- you did great.
|
Very nice so far!!! This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay above my challenge rate....LOL.... but I have downloaded the files and I'm thinking about doing only the ones I really like in a bigger size per square.

I'm doing it too, and keeping up.
One of the rules I made for myself starting, which has helped me to keep up, is that I do not rip out seams and redo blocks, even if I make a weird inversion or have a blunted point. I figure that with a quilt this busy, being super persnikkity about tiny variantions simply won't pay off. Plus which, it's symbolic. For a block a day, there are going to be some blocks/days that just don't go as planned or which aren't my favorite. So far, I've only "cheated" / substituted a technique on one block -- that wretched 6 inch block with 18 mitres -- so not my thing. Your photo looks great. Are you adding more colors with each additional round of blocks, or are you sticking with the established color scheme? So many decisions. |
I am only at 21st January, I need to seriously spend some time doing this to catch up.
|
I admire your tenacity to make such tiny blocks, it's a great quilt. I can admire it, but I'm afraid I could never make one, blocks are too small.
|
Good Job!!!! I am stuck at the end of Feb. Haven't had time to work on them. I have printed all the days though so I hope to get caught up eventually.
|
That is just beautiful!
|
Great job. Sounds hard but you are nailing it.

Congratulations on staying with the challenge! Soon you will be 1/3 rd of the way through the year.
I am saving all of the block patterns. I did the January blocks and a few in February and March according to the directions. My original plan was to use them just for ideas and probably enlarge them. I may still go back and do that although I know I will end up with a variety of sizes of blocks because the number of pieces in each one varies. I'm glad to see more 6" blocks now. I love to read the history of the blocks and am very grateful to the creator of the challenge. Connie |
