It's a new year and I'm starting a new adventure in cyberspace - blogging. I don't really know what I'm doing but hope to learn and improve as the year progresses.

Beginning in January of 2013 I followed a number of blogs faithfully and even participated in the Scrappy Saturday Challenge.

 

Here's the almost finished flimsy.  I used Block #396 Best Friends by Paula Stoddard found in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks vol. 4 but adapted it to the colour of the month rather than the three colours suggested in the instructions.  To complete the sashing I added friendship stars to try to keep the movement flowing.  I must add one more border sashing to complete the friendship stars and then decide on a final border. I  used charm squares that were exchanged with some quilting buddies and some white fabric that has been in my stash forever.

 

I enjoyed checking what everyone had completed every Saturday and hope that starting the blog I too will be encouraged to post my progress.  I'm trying the blocks for the sampler and so far have one of each.

 

 

I'm considering several different blocks for the Scrap Happy Challenge and hope to post my choice next week.
