Last summer my friend Jerilyn asked if I wanted to join in a year long Quilting project. Each month she gives out an assignment and you work at your own pace to get the blocks finished. Then next summer we will meet up to sew the entire quilt top together.
I began working on my August assignment very early in August and then my machine decided it needed a check up. (The feed-dogs wouldn' pull the material through) So after a two week date with the Bernina wizards, she finally came home all spic and span, ready to sew.
Part of the fun of this quilt is that I have no idea what the finished product will look like. The title of the quilt is Colorbox. So my first instruction was to buy a 24 box of crayola crayons. Remove the gray, black and white colors. Then for each block I'm suppose to blindly pick crayons from the box and color the block. Then sort through the fabric and find colors that go with the colored picture.
I was a little skeptical but I am really enjoying this part. It's forcing me to use colors I wouldn't normally put together. And for the most part I really like what I've picked out of the box so far.
Being a former teacher, Jerilyn does a great job of sending out the lessons.

This is very cool. It will be neat to see how it all comes together in the end!
