Where is the challenge located. It sounds like a good way to use my scraps - or at least start. Thanks

I love your blocks - definitely scrappy!

I would also like to know where the challenge is located. Any information you can give will be appreciated!

I think it's a wonderful skill building challenge.

Wow - your quilt is gorgeous and using the lights and darks really makes a statement.

Another gorgeous scrappy in the making.

Love the scrappy blocks!

I completed the first 16 blocks last year and plan on picking it up again after I complete the Bonnie Hunter Mystery.

Thanksall for the compliments! These little blocks have been fun to put together so far. TBH, tho, I have not done the blocks every day. I think that would drive me a little nuts, and I would come to dread them. Instead, I let 3-4 days pass, then catch up.

Are your blocks 6" and are there patterns for them? Great stash buster.

The blocks for January were all 3". It is my understanding that in April, you start on 6" blocks. So, not a big dent in the stash so far, but maybe when it is all finished?

Your quilt was the one that inspired me to work on this challenge! I was on the fence when I saw all of the gorgeous color-coordinated versions online, but I'm on the fabric moratorium, so I was going to skip it. Then I did a search here and saw how stunning your quilt turned out all scrappy. So, thank you! :)

The challenge is located at Katheryn Kerr's 365 Challenge. A block is posted daily, and is available for 3 months. It is a free challenge. Like Macybaby said, it is a great skill builder. The blocks start simple, then the pieces get smaller and the patterns more intricate as you go along.

I hope to do one one day but I'm starting the Sylvia Bridal Sampler (I should get my book tomorrow). Your blocks looks great.... Good luck!

Macybaby....you amaze me with the quilts you create. This is beautiful.
