ONCE A WEEK KEEP YOUR OWN BLOCK

Do you love challenges?  Are you one of those who is always first to get everything done?  Would you like to learn new techniques? This is for you!

This is a Keep Your Own Block that involves no swapping whatsoever and is for those who love a good challenge.  The rules are simple:

There will be 4 blocks posted each month on every Sunday morning.  The first block will be an easy block, second block a little harder, third block will be advanced and the fourth block will be a challenge block.  If there are 5 Sundays in a month, I will post a Bonus Block.  In order to make this work, I am giving a deadline of 1 week to finish one block and the current month to finish all 4 blocks.   The challenge is to see if we can keep up with the blocks and is FOR THOSE WHO SIGN UP!  The blocks will vary from pieced to applique and maybe a few new ideas.

The blocks can be made in your own choice of colors.  You can make a quilt or other project if you wish but these are designed to test our skills and help us in the art of quilting.  If you feel that the block for that week is too challenging or if you want to save the pattern for another time, please feel free to do so.  

If you want to participate please post below this message with your name.  All I ask is that if you do participate that you post a picture of the block when finished.   Remember, this is Keep Your Own Block, no swapping involved and no Quilt Police.   I look forward to seeing your creations!

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
