Chicken Challenge

Here's my 2008 Chicken Challenge Carpenter's Wheel block from Quilts Your Way. I've always wanted to make this pattern and thanks to Cindy at QYW, I've done it. Can't wait to see what the next instruction for this challenge will be.

Edison's Quilt

This is what I did last Sunday. It's a baby quilt for Edison Hsu, born Monday, Jan 14 to one of the guys I work with. I need to prepare the backing and get it basted for quilting. I wanted something bright and engaging.

I used the Wonder Cut ruler to make the HSTs, but found out really fast that if you cut the strips on the the straight grain you get bias squares and those are tough to work with. Next time I'll cut the strips on the bias.
