Word Salad
The quilt-along -- for those who complete it -- will yield 48 nine-inch finished blocks. I figure if I don't stick it out for the whole thing, I can still make enough for a lap quilt.
I have a small collection of text and letters prints that I've accumulated over the past year without a real plan. So I thought this would be a good use for them.
This is the first block, a basic churn dash. From the comments in the group, I'm thinking many of the participants are beginning quilters. Takes me back to the first swap I was ever in and I was afraid of anything that involved triangles!
Anyway, in light of the text and letters prints, I've decided this quilt will be called Word Salad. With no thanks to a certain someone.

Like you, I don't often follow thru in lengthy challenges tho they always seems quite doable at the outset.
Will your area be getting any of this amazing blizzard? Out here in the county, we had hours of sleet last night but it's snowing again this morning. Yesterday's footprints have completely disappeared and my guess is we've had more than 10". This morning the wind is blowing so the snow is swirling.
Hugs!
In response to a recent discussion about the how and why of UFOs, I wrote that I try to avoid jumping on every bandwagon that comes down the pike. (Now, there's an idea for a quilt: a string of 'bandwagons,' like freight cars, each of which is features a different piecing or applique technique.) This year I'm sticking to Block Lotto and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
