Wednesday's check in

Four months ago

Sheryl Johnson, the owner of

the Temecula Quilt Company

started a SAL

called One Block Wednesday.

It wasn't doing one block each Wednesday

but rather, repeating the same block 12 times

each Wednesday until you completed 360 blocks.

I did that for a while, but

I have to confess,

I needed to plow ahead

and get them done.

Doing the same  block  x 12 each week for

30 weeks wasn't going to hold

my attention for too long.

Here are the blocks

many of us have been sewing.

It was the perfect project for
 using my featherweight machine.

I was using bits and pieces of fabric scraps and

by chain piecing 10 blocks at a time

it wasn't long before all 360 blocks were done!

 Then I began sewing them

 together randomly in sets of two.

I'd guess most of them lined up

just right.

Those that didn't....

oh, well.

 Then the sets of twos

became four.

This is when the pressing really paid off

so the seams would mesh together.

It made for happy sewing.

The top is complete.

56" x 77"

It's a mish mash of colors 

and patterns.

All free from the stash

with blocks alternating 

light and dark.

The plan is to 

 get it machine quilted this summer.

Fingers crossed.

Thanks to Temecula Quilt Company

for sharing such a great idea.

It was fun to do.

Until Next Time-

Kyle
