The Challenge


I have been totally neglecting taking "in progress" photos of my Red and White Snowball challenge quilt! I have pictures... but just never got them posted. So how about a photo of my completed rows? I am making progress on this quilt.
It does go fast and is very methodical.
First the cutting.
Make the half square triangles.
Rip out mistakes.
Do those over.
Sew the squares together for the center of the block.
Make the dark blocks.
Then whip up the light blocks.
Sew the blocks into rows...
and that's where I am!
9 of the 11 rows sewed together. 2 more to go. Then the border units.
Oh, and in case you noticed...
my red and white challenge is pink and cream.
I just had to change it up a little.
Besides, I had all of the pinks in my stash!
Now... I have to tell you a little

about my house guests that arrived over the weekend.


But for now...



I'm just going to leave you with a little

"vintage" eye candy!

See you tomorrow!
