Ever tried to get refried beans out of a huge can without any type of can opener? No? Lucky...
The calender says today's block is called Variable Star. They lie. I cheated again and used the leftover QSTs from Betsy's baby quilt because I am running out of purple and didn't have enough of the swirly purple fabric to make them. I kinda like the way it's turned out though. I have, I think, 4 more of these QSTs so you're bound to see them again. *grin*
I joined a challenge today that I had seen on other peoples blogs and always found entriguing. Now that I'm signed up I'm all nervous and panicky though. I don't know why because I've participated in swaps and challenges a hundred times. Basically it's a miniature quilt swap. Seasonal themes, done in monochromatic colors. I could end up having to make an 18" square sprint quilt from black/gray fabrics. I can't wait to see what I get to make, but I am still REALLY nervous! It's the 4 Seasons Quilt Swap 5 found here: http://fourseasonsquiltswap.blogspot.com/ Wish me luck, LOL!
I've seen this on other blogs and thought each person was thinking up 100 things they'd done! It seemed to me like that would take forever, but then today I saw Ginny's blog http://ginnysquilts.blogspot.com/ and she explained that you just BOLD the things you've done. I bolded mine, but things I've done in the last year I made italic too. : ) Copy and paste your own into your own blog!
