Nine Challenge Blocks

 

Quilt Etc. in Sandy stopped holding their first Saturday block-of-the-month classes in spring of 2020. None of us ever imagined that in the four subsequent years, they wouldn’t start them up again. But here we are. To add insult to injury, the quilt shop called Mormon Handicraft inside the Midvale Deseret Book disappeared when the Deseret Book moved to Cottonwood Heights. I enjoyed block-of-the-month classes at both stores for many years, and their absence has left a hole in my calendar and my heart. I’ve been trying to fill the hole with Riley Blake Designs Block Challenge. I made a lovely queen-sized quilt with their 2021 blocks (and some others) that was displayed at the Thanksgiving Point Garden of Quilts. The 2022 top has been hand-quilted and is almost done being bound. I’m still debating how to set the 2023 blocks, and here are the first nine blocks from 2024.
