[ATTACH=CONFIG]595868[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]595869[/ATTACH]2017/2018 Challenge Projects from our Guild. Making a project with b/w and a pop of color. Another one was to use the method of lady from Down Under making 48 HSTs at a time. So I decided to combine the two projects. My goal was to get so good at making them that I would not lose a point and not spend countless hours ripping and fiddling until I finally got it right as has been my experience in the past. So it started as a wall hanging or some other small project. It just grew and grew. Finally, the final designation is an utility quilt. I have two grandsons playing football and here in the Midwest the weather gets cold. I finally have given up to try and enjoy their playing. I. don't. do. Cold!! It has a few hiccups and misalignments but you would never notice on a galloping horse. Follow the 20/20 rule. I found there was no magic in the system but rather attention to details. I made up the design. I have a few regrets but got tired of making HSTs by any method. Hey, it is an utility quilt. The ants won't mind. The Bloc Loc ruler was an so valuable.
