February Challenge Block

Well, what a weekend for sewing! BigJ was gone to a ski race on Friday and Saturday, so Wilbur and I had plenty of time in the sewing room. Then a snowstorm blew through Sunday morning, so church was canceled. What else was there to do but more sewing?!

What did I sew? I made a pin cushion, and a quilt top, but I can’t show you either of them – yet. I can show you my February Challenge Block though.

Patterns by Jen is hosting the 2020 Monthly Color Challenge, and there is still time to join in. You can read about the challenge here. On the first of each month, Jen sends out the block instructions; once the month passes, you can purchase them from Jen for a small fee.

This year, Jen is using birds for her inspiration when choosing colors and blocks. For February, she has chosen the Indigo Bunting. You can read some interesting facts about this beautiful little bird in Jen’s post.

Here’s my block, using teal fabrics from my stash.

I enjoy this monthly challenge because the blocks are easy and relaxing to do. Having the entire month to complete the block makes it a fun, no stress project. At the end of the month, Jen offers a link up to show off your block. If you have participated in the link up, you are eligible for a quarterly drawing. More information and a list of the sponsors is on Jen’s site.

If you want to see my January block, you can see it here.

Well, BigJ is back home, we’ve dug a path out of the snow, I’ve got my February Challenge Block done, and now it’s time to head back to my quilt room to finish some more projects. Who’s with me?

Enjoy your day, my friends!

Wendy
