One down, Eleven to go...

I made my first block today (unembellished!). The piecing wasn't too bad, I only had to rip out a few seams... :-)

Now to the fun part, the embellishing!

Thanks to Gerry K. at Older Rose

I saw this block design and thought it looked so simple even I could do it and so I emailed Gerry to ask her if she would give her permission for me to use this block as the basis for my work on the Crazy Quilt Journal Project for 2012. She kindly said yes.

Good block for CQJP 2012

Others' Crazy Quilts

Since I signed up for the CQPJ challenge, I've been looking at others' blogs/websites. There are many gorgeous ones out there but this is a very interesting setting.

Welcome!

My name is Lynne and I've decided to join the Crazy Quilt Journal Project challenge. We're supposed to create one crazy quilt block each month for 12 months. I promise to post pictures as each block is finished. I'll also be sprucing up this blog with interesting doodads and such.

Should be interesting!
