Patricia B. from Australia took it upon herself last January to make and post EVERY SINGLE BLOCK in my perpetual calendar. And she did it, all the way through to December 31. I was truly both amazed and humbled. Would you like to see the first week's worth? And I'll try to share the rest as the year rolls along.
These are from the
Quilter's Block a Day Calendar, available through
Amazon and
Martingale Publishing. Even better, check with your local quilt shop. This is a perpetual calendar (not tied to any calendar year).

Making every single block in that book is an amazing accomplishment...wow! Such a fun calendar to have in my sewing room. Just ordered one! Happy New Year, Debby!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. Would love to see the quilt also. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteShe even matched your colors! Wow! Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteMy husband buys me the calendar for Christmas each year. I sure enjoy it.
ReplyDeletehow good to have finished all 12 blocks I am behind on some will make more of an effort though have substituted some as cannot do applique, maybe I should plan to conquer it this year. Are you doing more blocks for 2017 please
ReplyDeleteGreat job. Looking forward to retirement and maybe I can fit this into my schedule!
ReplyDeleteFantastic accomplishment. Would like to see the whole quilt too when she has it put together.

ReplyDeleteOne of these things is not like the others ... because I recognize it as the basis for a calendar girl baby quilt I made last year - loved it, to! What a lovely thing she's done and how nice for you to know about it. Thanks for sharing! Her photography is amazing. She's multi-talented. =)
ReplyDeleteJust to have all that fabric on hand to do each one is amazing to me! Great job!
