The great 100 days.....

So I heard about this 100 day project that’s happening, where you have to repeat some design operation over and over in some form every single day for 100 days.  This sounds interesting I thought, could be fun, so I rung a friend to talk it over and try come up with some idea.  Thinking of something creative I could, would want and be able to repeat every day for 100 days was the tricky part.  I love painting I thought, but with 2 small children finding time to get paints out every day would be a lil tricky.  My friend suggested a quilt, makes sense I love making quilts. But as all my quilts so far have been made from 6-10inch blocks and are basically made in a weekend i was thinking that maybe that’s not such the go.  While vacuuming later that day though I remembered an awesome letter/word quilt that I’d seen awhile back, and I thought I could easily do a small block consisting of a different letter each day.

So here goes my plan from the 1st of March for 100 days I’m going to make up a quilt block ranging from 3-9 inches and each consisting of a single letter or maybe a word if I’ve got a bit of extra time.  And at the end of the 100 days ill piece it all together into some kind of word search, cross word looking quilt.

So keep watching this space for updates and pictures of my progress……..
