Sarah's Favourite



Ninety-three days ago my quilting friends encouraged me to take the 365 Quilt Block Challenge. Each day a different quilt block pattern appears in my email. Most of them have been 3” finished blocks. Some are fairly simple; others insanely (and often unnecessarily) difficult. If I follow along, at the end of the year I should have a 90” square sampler quilt. I love samplers, but this one promises to be unbelievably busy. There’s no place in the finished design where the eye can rest. It’ll be a heavy quilt, too. Then there’s the thought of cutting and stitching one group of colors for a whole year. Even if they’re colors I love, I’d run mad – like eating the same meal for twelve months. So I’m making the blocks, but not exactly as directed. Instead of making one sampler, I’m making dozens. Today’s block is actually from March 19, and considerably larger than 3 inches.
