I made my first quilt of the year for the first Project Quilting challenge. Project Quilting is a challenge that was started years ago by Kim Lapacek of Persimmon Dreams. It is inspired by Project Runway challenges.
Every other week for the first three months of the year, Kim's friend, Tricia Franklin, posts a theme. Quilters then make quilts based on this theme. The quilt cannot be started before the challenge is posted, and must be finished by the deadline, which is only one week later.

Yes, I'm going on another retreat this weekend. This time it's for quilting. I wasn't intending to go, but someone has had to pull out, and her place was up for grabs.
As I said last week, it's winter here, and wet and cold, so I'd just be quilting at home all weekend anyway. This way I get to do it with friends and see all the exciting things that they are making.
I'm not even sure what do at retreat yet. Often I just take hand sewing because I can't be bothered ...

I liked the way that the maker had chosen stripy fabrics for some of the houses, and I started thinking about what I could use to make something similar in a different colour way. Here's the photo from the book:
Imagine the perfect neighborhood. Are the homes quaint and colorful? Are the streets lined with stately oaks? (Is there an ice cream shop on the corner??)
Best of all, who lives next door? Is it your dearest friend? Your grandkids? Maybe it’s Jenny Doan!
This week you can stitch up the neighborhood of your dreams with tiny houses, big houses, two-story houses, and even trees made with the scraps! Click HERE to learn how to make this quick and easy layer cake pattern!
