I am feeling really excited today as I just finished the last block for the 365 Challenge Quilt by Kathryn Kerr. This project was started way back in mid-January 2016 when it was first released, each block instruction being received daily by email and carefully stored until I had sewing time. I was strict about sewing each block in chronological order (except the big corner blocks) but until yesterday (29 December) I don't think I had ever managed to actually sew one on the date of the block. Eek, nine years! All the fabrics selected for this project, and added to as needed, were carefully stored separately (in the old house they were in a bedroom cupboard, and with less space in the new house it made sense to be one of the first major projects to be worked on); now I have to fit the (lots of) left-overs back into the drawers with like colours. And sew up all the teeny scraps!
I like partaking in Bonnie Hunter's year-end mystery, so was using some of the parts of The Old Town as leaders and enders to at least have some bits sewn before the final reveal. A couple more hours of sewing should get all up to date.
Congratulations on finishing the 365 Challenge Quilt blocks! I think it would be hard to keep up with a block a day, even if I doubled or tripled up on some blocks. Good for you to finish them. They look great! I especially like the colors of the blocks in the last photo. I think those golds and blues look great together.
