Today while I was following along on bloggers that are doing the Bonnie Hunter "Easy Street" mystery quilt and I came across a post by Thimble Mouse of Country Crossroads saying that there was a post from Barbara at Cat Patches inviting any and all of us to join her for the 2013 New FO Challenge.
Now I am new to quilting AND blogging, so I wasn't real sure what that was. Lynn seemed excited about it so I thought I would check it out. It turns out that Barbara started up a NewFO Challenge to give us an opportunity to build up our supply of UFO's! Well, I sure don't have many UFO's so I thought I'd join.
Here's what I need to do: Each month, start up at least one new quilt project of any size and I do NOT need to complete it during the year. All I need to do to participate is start something new during any given month. On the last day of the month, I have to write a blog post about my new project and link up to Barbara's linky party.
1. Sister's Choice quilt for my bed. It's a quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter.
2. I want to make a table runner for the table behind my couch. (The one I had previously made was given to my daughter and I want another one).
3. I want to make a small quilt for my wall that I can see when sitting at my computer.
Bonnie Hunter's projects are so popular on these lists. :D I have several of hers on my dream list.
ReplyDeletePerfect projects. I'm so glad you will be joining in.
ReplyDeleteI love the Sister's Choice block! It's very similar to the bear paw.
ReplyDeleteSister's Choice is definitely on my to-do list. It looks easy...but don't all of BH's quilts look good enough to make??!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! I want to make a Sister's Choice quilt, but I already have 2 quilts in progress and 5 quilts yet to be quilted (and I'm doing them by hand) so I really can't start another project just now. I hope you'll post about your Sister's Choice, though.
ReplyDeleteHaha I do this naturally! There is no challenge here :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great choices for 2013 projects!!!
