Hello from freezing Michigan! I'm Melissa.
I finally started on the challenge today! I know, I know...I am a bit of a slacker. That is what is so great about doing it with all of you! You lend inspiration, and a bit of pressure to get the job done, which I so desperately need sometimes. hehehe
So I blogged about my post here:
But if you are overwhelmed with blogs to read I can just put a short little synopsis here to share.
I am going to follow some of your very SMART, brainy ideas and keep a little calendar page for each month with short descriptions of the day. I am planning to work on my challenge weekly, so that will help me select the fabrics when it comes time to work on it. Then I am going to print those pages on fabric and incorporate them into the back of the quilt!!
I am doing strips whatever size x 12 to start and will trim the strip to 10" or 11" when it comes time to piece it all together. I am using ONLY scraps for every part of the quilt!! FUN =)
Here is January so far with a plain white piece on Jan 1st to represent a blank slate for the Brand New Year!!

looks great! Looks like your months so far have been as dark and dreay as the weather--don't get me wrong, I love all the dark colors--I was just commenting on the fact that darks and blues make me think of COLD and SNOW and RAIN and YUCKY weather--all of which seems to be happening a lot around the good ol' USofA.
Welcome to the blogging fun here. I'll be checking in at your blog as well to check on you too!
Quilting Together,

P. S. I love, love, love this idea of yours--think I'll have to borrow it. What idea is that? This one where you said, "Then I am going to print those pages on fabric and incorporate them into the back of the quilt!!" What a GREAT way to be able to look back and see it all make sense--either to you or to a family member down the line! AWESOME Girl!
Hello there, I like ALL the blues! The coldness of blues! I have so many blues in my stash that I am worried that every month will be blue :)...love it!
