Just Made It!

Whew! ::wiping forehead::

I just put together block 3 and block 4 for my answer to Michelle's Lent challenge to make four different blocks for the Valor Quilt Bee.

I don't do Lent - it's not part of my religion - but I respect what folks around me do for it, and Michelle's challenge was a worthy one. Little did I know how very challenging it would be! I mean, I regularly do quilt work, so how hard could it be to make 4 blocks instead of 1 in 6 weeks' time?

Well, Life exploded for our family, and I do have my master's coursework, so finding the time for even just three extra blocks really has been a bear. I really considered asking to be excused - almost all my other BOMs got shelved for April - but I set the books down this morning and did these two beauties up.  :)  Feels good.

Fourth Week, February 2011

So, here it is, the first "Fourth Week" of this Valor Quilt Bee's existence. Hasn't been organized long enough to get a lot of word out, let alone gather in any blocks, so there's nothing for Devon and I to coordinate yet.

So, I whipped up eight 6" red-and-white bow-tie blocks, just waiting for some friends to sidle up with and form a cool quilt top!

(The blue and white rectangles are actually for our local guild's project, but they looked so cute with these, I let them hang out.)
