The Challenge

The Challenge:  Take this 18x22 inch piece of  fabric and put it in a quilt anyway you would like. 
This is the challenge for one of my quilt groups. The quilt needs to be finished for our Christmas party.

So, here is a sidewalk.
Using it for a letter.
A beehive.
The quilt blocks are finished..almost, I need to blanket stitch around the beehive and church.  Then,  I need to sew the blocks together, make a stop border and then use more of the challenge fabric in the outside border. It has been fun to do.  The winner receives $25.00!!  Now, wouldn't that be nice? :)
It is hot and windy here today--neither my favorite type of weather.  However, I jogged a mile(the wind helped me) and walked 2 more miles this morning!!  Felt good.  Have a super day!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie
