Barn Dance Quilt Update

Back in May I joined the craze!! I found the Barn Dance QAL at Just Quiltin' and I fell down the Rabbit Hole!!   I have been using this as a Leader/Ender - so I see it taking a year ( or more - I don't like pressure you know!)

I have finished Step 1 of the QAL

Mine will be all scrappy Plaids - I know!! I can see the surprise on your face!!!

I finished 5 of these pink ones


And 6 o the blue ones



And I am now on to step 2!!

Yay me - except it said made 33 ( or something like that) of the next block
I might have choked a little bit....

Ha ha!




PS - some of you have been asking about my photos - 
There got to be so many - as I am addicted to taking my camera EVERYWHERE

So.. here is a link to that blog -

I am taking all year with this project too. I use the RSC color challenge for making churn dashes and I use the leader/ender method for making tiny patches for the connecting blocks. No rush here, but I do find I go thru L/E pieces quickly.

I love the quilt pattern you are making. Nancy

If you are on Step 2, you are WAY farther along on your Barn Dance than I am!! I stalled out at the cutting for Step 1 and haven't worked my way back to the project. One commission and one wedding quilt, then I hope to be back at it!

Slow and steady will get it done. Just keep going and get what you can done.
