a challenge

I'm in a quilt challenge with the Modern8create.

Margaret issued a challenge:

Make the "card trick" block and then

change it a few times.

Change it in any way you like.

The challenge for me was to MAKE the card trick block.

This is a block I was NEVER going to make.

It just NEVER appealed to me.

But....I was good girl and DID it.

This is the card trick block with the four corners flipped out.

Kinda nice. Hmmm?

And here it is in FOUR colors.

Four colors with the four inside squares flipped out.

O.k.

WHAT was I going to do with my blocks??

I really don't love them.

Maybe it was my choice of color???

I had an Aha! moment.

Table Mats!

I made four to be used TWICE a month.

My friend Ellen and I

cook and serve a lunch to senior citizens

two Tuesdays a month.

We have been doing it for over a year now.

Woo HOo!

I had always dreamed I'd make some seasonal

quilted table toppers for the tables.

NOW I have my FIRST SET!

Finally.

This is a picture of everyone from last year.

I look forward to using these

and MAybe....just maybe...

I'll make some more.
