Family "Challenge Quilt"

On Thanksgiving 2007 the idea of a family challenge quilt was born. We were each to make thirteen 12 1/2" quilt blocks using three "required" fabric prints. Finished quilt blocks were to be distributed the following Thanksgiving. We would each have the 12 blocks needed to make our quilt top.

The block I chose was the "Peace & Plenty".


I think the goal was to have the quilt top done by the third Thanksgiving ... I think I missed the deadline ...


Rich at Cosmic Cow did the quilting (waiting list of four months). I got it back after the first of the year and this past week I did the binding. It finished as a twin size quilt, so won't fit any of our beds. But it will look nice displayed in our living room --

I love how it finished up!!!
