May Challenge- Just Get Sewing
One A Day In May
Challenge yourself to make one Quilt As You Go (QAYG) shape a day, by the end of the month you will have completed 31quilts. I have created some lovely projects for you to do and I will be showing you some of these at the beginning of the May Challenge and sharing with you throughout the month.
To make a QAYG shape doesn't take too long (depending on which shape that you are doing and if you are making it by hand or machine?) but approx.10-20 minutes, so its not too scary. I want you to have fun and it shouldn't be stressful, so if one a day seems to much create your own daily, weekly, or monthly goal.
The challenge starts on the 1st May, and I will be posting lots of hints, tips, design ideas and more for the entire month.
The May Challenge will be focusing on the 3 1/2" Hexagon and Half Hexagon and some of their play mates will be coming along for the ride as well like the 3 1/2" Triangle, Diamond and Crown and even the 7" triangle will come to join the fun. These play mates aren't essential and there are plenty of projects to do with just the Hexagon and Half Hexagon.
If you don't have the 3 1/2" Hexagon & Half Hexagon then you can use the 2 1/2" Hexagon instead, some of the project will have the supplies needed for the 2 1/2" as I am aware that the 3 1/2" Hexagon isn't yet available at Missouri Star Quilt Co (please note that I can ship this to the US).
So what do you need to get started?
Your Quilt As You Go template(s)
Fabric, a great time to raid your stash or use that fabric that's been waiting for a project.
Wadding / Batting
You will also need a cutting mat, rotary cutter (although my mum cuts hers with scissors after marking them out as she doesn’t like rotary cutting, so even a pair of scissors will do) quilting clips or pins and of course a needle and thread or your sewing machine.
Come and join us at Daisy and Grace Quilters on Facebook where we encourage and support with a great group of friends and we would love for you to share your progress and Daisy & Grace makes.
