2013 New FO Challenge


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.

  3. I love the Sister's Choice block! It's very similar to the bear paw.

  4. Sister'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??!

  5. Me, 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.
