My First 2021 Project

will be to participate in the QAL 2021 The Curves!  Curves! I am looking forward to this. The rules state that we cannot begin making the quilt until January 1, 2021. It has to be a completely new project. 

I saw this antique quilt hanging on the wall in Mary's Quilt Shop in Bedford Pennsylvania in April 2014. I looked at it long and hard and figured out the underlying pattern. I bought some black and green reproduction fabric for another project then went back the next day and bought the rest of the bolt. I wanted to make sure I had enough. Later that day I bought 11 yards of Kona Snow for the first time for the Cherries quilt. I have bought the Kona Snow several times since then. A lot of it. 

Then a few years later I bought a GO die to cut it all out. I wanted to make this thing fast. But what was the hurry? I needed a reason to make it. Now I have one. A challenge! A competition! With prizes! Do I want to win a prize? That is always nice. But I do not need more stuff, now do I?
 
My January 2021 OMG goal will be to have the first 16 block units of The Curves! made. 


Blessings,
Chris

  1. Good luck with the curves. They are also a bit frightening to me. I have put learning how to sew curved blocks as a challenge for this year.
