Every month, Trina, Ashley and I go to Winters for the Block of the Month. Trina has been doing it for years, but last year was the first for Ashley and I. Last year I think all of us were only able to finish about 1/2 of the blocks. I could use my whole new baby-buying a house-moving excuse but Trina has me beat in that department so let’s not go there! 😉
But this year we are competing! The winner is the person who completes their block every month – with proof by posting it on their blog! While the other two finished their block’s the first week, I had an operator error and had to get more fabric! Bless Trina’s kids for napping in the car – she drove out there one day and picked it up for me (I still owe you coffee for that one Trina!)
And, today I finally finished my March block:
And, here is February’s block.
We are using Batiks…and while I love the colors…I’m just not seeing how they will go together. Of course, I’m only looking at 2 pieces of a 12 piece puzzle!
Huzzah! Looking good over there.
They are lovely and congrats on finishing both of them! I am glad you mentioned the color issue, I could not see them going together either, but my step-mom is an amazing quilter and she always suprises me with the final product – sometimes she will show me bits and pieces and I think – WHAT is this woman thinking, but they always look great in the end. How fun you have two buddies to do it with and one night a month out of the house.
Whoo Hoo! Way to go Amy! See you next Saturday!
Amy, the blocks look great, but I’m curious. What do you plan to do with them?
