The 350 Block Project: 2013 is a challenge to complete 350 blocks this year in an effort to make substantial progress on some quilts. Since the challenge was posted partway through January, that basically comes out to a block a day. Shelly is keeping a running list that includes the block goal for each month, the total goal for the year so far, and the progress of everyone who is participating. Additionally, there’s a flickr group for participants to show off their blocks.
The goal for February was to complete 28 blocks for a total of 45. I went into the month pretty nervous about my ability to do that, but I ended up really surprising myself. I finished 42 blocks! All of them were for my sister’s choice quilt. Now I’m (finally) done with all 81 of the blocks that I need for that quilt, and I’m working on assembling it. These were the blocks that I finished this month:
My total block count for the year thus far is 82 blocks. That puts me 37 blocks ahead. I’m pretty pleased with that since I expect to spend at least the next month assembling and quilting my sister’s choice quilt. I had wanted to be a month ahead to give me the time I need to do that.
How beautiful! That’s gonna be a great quilt! And I need to try your idea — getting ahead so I can spend time working on something and finish it!
Congrats on getting all the squares together. The quilt top will come together quickly now!
Beautiful! What an awesome first quilt. Love you
