Urban Quilting League

Oooh I'm so excited about the league. As most people know, I love leagues in general. I am particularly fond of our quilting league. All the girls are great and very creative too. Our first project is to make Rose a quilt for her new baby. We picked out 9 or 10 fabrics for the quilt. Our challenge was to make a block and incorporate each fabric some how. It's very difficult, because the blocks are small and that is a lot of different fabric going on. Everyone was so happy to be part of the challenge. Almost all the blocks for Rose's baby quilt have been posted to Flickr. I am going to get them tomorrow and assemble them into her beautiful quilt.

Caro's block

Rebecca's block

The only block left is April's block. I'm so happy that everyone participated so whole-heartedly in this project. I think because of it, we are going to make more quilts for each other. I feel like we are in an old-timey quilting circle. I love that its pushing all of us out of our comfort zone. I think that's the only place that personal progress is made. Oh, so many more fun things are to come from the UQL, I can just feel it!!!
