It's One Month....


till Christmas.... With our crazy weather and no snow - you wouldn't believe it in our part of the country. Today, I am working on a quilt that I was doing for my guild challenge. I am no longer part of this guild, but since I started it - I should finish. We were given paint chip cards and had to make a quilt from those colors... here is one of the blocks from mine. I have to make 4 more blocks like this... then decide on some sort of border. Yes!! it is paper piecing - honestly what was I thinking - LOL. PP is not my favorite, so I guess this really is a "challenge". The colors, also, are not something I would usually go with, again, a challenge. The end piece will be fairly small - about 48" X 48". I doubt if I will get all 4 done today, as I have to work this afternoon, but I will keep at it, as I am sooooo close.

Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.

It looks lovely to me. Your color choices are very nice. you know, I like PP but I detest taking that paper out!

PP....now there's a "wash your mouth out with soap" dirty word! *grin* but it is a way to get good sharp points. Interesting colour scheme!

It's great. I like PP aswell but I also love taking the paper out. I find it really therapeutic.

Love and hugs Gina xxx

I admire your courage. I don't mind PP but I find working with colours I don't particularly like drives me crazy.

I really like your block. But like you I don't care for PP.
