Crazy Quilt 2012 Challenge

I have joined in a challenge with several other crazy quilt enthusiasts on the Yahoo crazyquilting list to finish a large quilt by the year 2012. Instead of a bed quilt, I prefer a wall hanging. I have charted my quilt and have a photo of that chart below. I will be writing about portions of it on CQMagOnline as well as this blog, but the entire project will eventually be shown here. The wall hanging will be ~42"x43" not really large by some standards, but large for someone like me whose attention wanders. Wish me luck in sticking this out to the finish!!!

    OK, this is exactly why it's a good thing to be behind on my blog reading...I am intrigued, my dear...which Yahoo group is it? I've always wanted to do a large crazy quilt and challenges are a good way for me to be kicked in the butt...I guess, what I'm saying is (oh no, I can't believe I'm going to do this), I think I might like to join you...*(help!)

    Hi Maureen -- I'm in the challenge also. Are we allowed to show our work on our blogs? I'll be watching yours. My theme is "Fantasy" and I will have it done in time -- I will!

    That's a fabulous design! I love having windows or vignettes on a CQ, too. It gives the eye a place to rest and I really like how it gives a 'crazy' piece some semblance of order.

    This will look amazing!

    This looks very interesting. I love the baskets you will be using. I need to get started on mine. I think I have a plan. Seeing what you have done so far, I had better get started!

    These baskets of blooms are wonderful... what a fine idea for the centers. I look forward to following you as you go on... Like Susan asked, what Yahoo group is this that the 2012 Challenge is going through?

    Oh what a great idea! I have never really thought about charting an entire CQ quilt. I want to work on one for my granddaughter as a present when she is older...she is almost 6 now. I expect it to take a really long time with all the things I have planned in my head; and your idea is a great help! THANKS!
