Meet the
Challenge Part III

The Challenge is coming along nicely. I have completed the design and have almost completed the quilt. Thank goodness it is only 30" by 30". This week, I have included additional photos of the process. Previous photos and posts can be found at Meeting a Challenge and Meeting a Challenge Part II.

However, I have decided not to enter the official contest. I found that shipping the quilt to New Hampshire by the deadline would be too expensive. I really like the design. Therefore, I have decided to write the pattern so that I can share it. In fact, I actually designed two patterns for the contest and chose to make only one. I plan on offering the second design as well. Stay tuned!

Finally, I learned something valuable about quilt contests. If I want to submit a quilt for a contest by mail, I need to ship three weeks before the deadline.

I love the colors in those flying geese! Can't wait to see your patterns--and great tip about shipping early.

Thanks, Becca! I had a great time designing and making the pattern. I hope to submit it by the end of April. Wish me luck!
