I even found a couple of my quilting friends who decided to take the journey with me. I too find a quilt comes to life as I work on it and love letting it happen. Your latest challenge has me on a journey with my own little Pollyanna. I am already quilting the challenge quilt and loving how it is coming along.

I may try again. My initial frustration was trying to use the same background fabric for the entire quilt. Your blocks look great so far! I am glad you are doing it for yourself.

I keep thinking this is something I would like to try, maybe one day I will try a block or two and see where the journey goes.
