Pantry Challenge Update

I raided my "Adopt Me!' box


Pantry  Challenge blocks
This is an early photo of the miscellaneous orphan blocks I'm trying to fit into a single quilt.  I wrote about my progress to date and how my son prompted the quilt name here.

I have begun combining pieces into 10" blocks, but I felt Pantry Challenge needed some places where the eyes could rest so I pulled some project leftovers out of my "Adopt Me!" box that were more on the neutral side.


I think I need to get a bit further along before I make a final decision on the arrangement.

This project will have to mellow on my wall this week while I'm at the Nuts and Bolts retreat. I need to be close to resources when I work on this so I'll use my retreat time to get borders on several projects and maybe finish up a couple of moldie oldies.

Have a great week, y'all!

Be sure to visit Quilting is More Fun Than Housework to see how others are using up their scraps.

    Quite a challenge you have tackled. But they are beautiful blocks and they need to be "adopted". Enjoy the retreat. ;^)

    Such a fun challenge! I'm trying to explore improv a bit more, where I start with a vague idea and let things develop- a bit nerve racking, but exciting! Enjoy your retreat!

    Good think you're taking photos. At the rate you're going your finished project will look very little like the way it began. Hope you're still enjoying the process!

    I like the addition of the neutral blocks. You've got a good start on working these into a final project. Hope you are enjoying your retreat.
