What a long, long eighteen months it's been! Way back at the end of 2011 I signed up for a quilting group through MetaFilter. There were 16 of us in the "adventurous" group, and every month a different person would send out fabric and instructions for making a block. Of course a lot can happen over 16 months, and four of the people ended up dropping out. The pace started to slow towards the end as well, so I finished well after the scheduled end date (and I think I'm still the first one done). Ultimately I ended up making 12 blocks (counting my own) using a lot of different techniques! Check it out...  1. Jan 2012 - Nonesuch by ocherdraco; 2. Feb 2012 - New York Beauty by katemonster; 3.

Cathedral Windows by artychoke Many, many thanks to ocherdraco (aka Margaret) for setting up the group; and for everybody who saw it through to the end!
