Last year at the Houston Quilt show I challenged a few blog readers to an antique block challenge.
It was this: The antique blocks are an optional challenge- make a quilt with it, cut it up, undo the seams, keep it whole, make a little quilt, big quilt, potholder, label, etc........ And you have a year to complete it.
Well, this is my reminder if you wanted to play that a year is closing in! The deadline will be American Thanksgiving, November 26th.
And- Christopher, Cecile, Janet. (Christopher was along for the ride with Cecile)
Here is my block and I started my challenge at my retreat! Need to get back to it soon!
If you have an orphan antique block and would like to join the challenge, please feel free!
What a fun challenge!
