So, this year it's the paint chip challenge. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Find 3 paint chips whose paint colors start with your initials and make something. Yeah, right. After starting and abandoning attempts Number 1 - 3 I finally realized I wasn't "feeling the love" with one of my colors. Back to the big envelope of paint chips I had accumulated. Find another one that will work with the 2 colors I already have AND whose name starts with the appropriate initial, then off to find fabric in said paint chip color. Attempt Number 4 -- abandoned. I guess it would help if I had started with an actual plan.....
So here I am today, working on Number 5. And you know what, I LIKE IT! Yes folks, she really does like it! Hopefully that means that she might actually finish this one. She better, since TIC TOC, time is running out....18 days left to the QB Christmas party/challenge reveal. Stay tuned, eventually Number 5 will actually be revealed here, and maybe even Numbers 1 - 4 if I can find them.

I just came upstairs from working on mine. After some problems with breaking thread and one whole section done in a thread color I don't like at all I'm finally on a roll. Have decided to quilt the rest of it and then take it off the frame to do my unstitching while seated. There's a lot to pick out (insert heavy sigh). So, the race is on! Why oh why did I wait so long to get it on the machine?
I think I'd have some trouble with that challenge. You're not making it out of paint chips right? Just the colours I'm guessing. Good luck!
