At some point during the month, you have to make a sample and post it on the Sew Cal Gal's blog. Many of the participants have made quilt tops with special blocks for each month's challenge. I chose to make a placemat for each month's challenge. Here is my January project, made from leftovers from my stripe Batik quilt:
"top" of placemat |
detail (stitches are still a little uneven) |
"back" of placemat |
I had a lot of fun doing this month's challenge and am really looking forward to next month's, which I hear may be a feather!
You can still join the challenge at the link above!
Think you've done a lovely job here Newbie Jen. Really like the placemat idea.
