There was a challenge thrown out on Facebook group--Quilts R Us--I just ignored it!
I don't need another project at this time. Then, of all people, a friend challenged me
to take up the challenge--how could I refuse a friend?
All you had to do was choose a number between #1 and #15. Me thinking it had to do
with how many quilt tops you made within the challenge time--chose the number 3.
seemed right to me.
Then, then, then the leader of Quilts R Us told us what our number meant--
What?? Number 3 means to do a One Block Wonder?? I've never done a
one block wonder! Never wanted to do a one block wonder!
Can I change numbers? NO! was the answer! I'm stuck with One
Block Wonder--
Okay--now to do research--I don't want to buy a book--I won't do another
One Block Wonder--YouTube videos are a huge help!
Now, to choose a fabric--from my stash--I don't want to buy a new fabric--
four(yes 4 yards) are required to make a quilt--
Searching through my stash for at least 3 yards--I AM NOT doing
a whole quilt!!! I found this fabric--I have no other use for it at the
present time--maybe, this will work.
I cut my 6 sections of fabric required and line them up--it states it
must be perfectly lined up--one on top of the other--
I did my best-- cut the first 4" section--oh, then I
read instructions that you needed a special ruler--off to find that
ruler since of course, I didn't have that one in my numerous rulers.
Ruler arrived and I cut the pie wedges and then I played with the
wedges.
turning this way and that to see what I could get
out of these wedges.
Okay, now I'll sew the wedges together--
which wasn't hard to do--three together and then
the other three and seam them across the middle
I had enough of the pie wedges sewn to do a layout--
Not finished yet--and it was only going to be a table runner!!
Then I read the rules again--the minimum size is
LAP size--oh Joy!
I guess it's a challenge--which takes me out of my comfort zone
well, I'm definitely outside that box and I'm squirming!--
check in later to see if I complete and how it will look--
I have a deadline of December 31!
