Four Inch Where To?

 

I finished my state fair challenge quilt in plenty of time for the competition last year. Then, of course, the competition never happened. I could always save the quilt for this year’s state fair, assuming there IS one. There’s a chance the quilt I made would be disqualified. I’d designed it to be exactly 30” square; the largest size admissible for the challenge. Somehow it ended up measuring 30 1/5”. That’s surprising, especially when you consider quilting usually makes a top pucker a bit. Anyway, I’m making another quilt using the challenge fabric. This one will reflect on the events (or lack thereof) of the past year or so; things we wanted to do but couldn’t, and things we did instead. If there is indeed a state fair this fall, I might submit this second quilt instead. Or I may wash the first one a few times until it shrinks down to an acceptable size. So many choices!
