What's Up Wednesday: Challenges
Today is our OrlandoMQG meeting day which means showing off our ugly fabric challenge, Blocks of the Month and any other quilt projects for Show and Tell.
My baby has spent the last three days (including today) of school home with a fever so I am not at the meeting. I did my homework though and am showing it virtually ;-)
The block of the month you've seen before. Yep, a great granny square block. Think I might be in the doghouse with some for picking this block; it's not complicated but does take more time than our typical block.
Our ugly fabric challenge is to make a 12.5" modern block using the fabric we received in the ugly swap. All the blocks will then be assembled into a charity quilt.
The ugly fabric I blindly picked was not ugly at all, so I chose a block that would feature the fabric. Both blocks are from the Modern Blocks book - page 162 and page 14.
In between taking my daughter's temperature, I am quilting the Baby Chevron quilt. Sure would be nice to finish this today.
Even though voting for the U.S. elections is now over, there are still opportunities to cast your vote going on right now in other situations. OrlandoMQG member Mary Sorensen has a quilt in AAQI's online Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction. You can "cast your vote" for her quilt by bidding generously; all funds raise money for Alzheimer's research. November's auction ends on the 10th.
Monday I learned (thanks Michelle) my Liberated Quilt made the Blogger's Quilt Festival finals in the Favorite Rainbow Quilt category!!!! I am thrilled that so many of you like my quilt and took the time to complete the nomination form. Thank you! There are so many gorgeous quilts nominated in the different categories. Go here to vote for your favorite in each category. Your chance to vote ends tomorrow (November 8th).
I am so happy to see many of my favorite quilts make the finals, and rather sad to realize others did not. However, you can vote for ANY of the 628 quilts for Viewer's Choice!
Good luck to all!
So, what's up with you this Wednesday? Have a good one.
Thanks for visiting,
