Challenges

I took on a couple of challenges this month, and so far, this month has been crazy. I added these pics to a post almost a week ago and am just now (mon. 5/10 @ midnight) getting back here to talk about them.

Challenge #1 ... She started out Ugly
We were partnered up and sent each other an UGLY fat quarter. We have to use at least 90% of the FQ and send finished item(s) back by the end of the month. I was paired up with Nickilee on the HGTV board and here is the FQ she sent me.

Funny thing here, we both sent each other a FQ that we won during a FQ bingo game. I took a pic of the FQ I sent to Nickilee but am going to wait to post it with what it turned in to.

Challenge #2 ... UFO Challenge
We signed up by posting a pic of an unfinished project. We had from April 12-May 12 to get it finished. I thought it would be easy, but as I said before, it has been a crazy month. I had these blocks and needed to get them turned into something. I put them together and added a border. Now it has been sitting for almost 2 weeks to get quilting and bound. I have until Tuesday at midnight to post a pic of my finished quilt along with a close up. I'd better hit the sewing room first thing in the morning.
I just realized as well, my BOM class is this Tuesday night and I haven't put my block together yet. Guess you know where I will be every spare minute tomorrow.
