Game on! Those were the words uttered to me last night by my good friend, Sharyn. She has a lot of scrapbooking and card assignments to complete by the first of April. And she likes challenges.
So, I challenged her to what we will call "March Scrapness." :)
The challenge is simple - scrapbook layouts (her) vs. quilt blocks (me). Whoever creates the most layouts/quilt blocks by midnight on March 31st, wins. We had to make a point system since the quilt I'm working on has very simple blocks and I can make them in about 20 minutes. Scrapbook layouts can easily take an hour to create. So, points are awarded as follows:
1 handmade card = 1 point
1 quilt block = 1 point
1 scrapbook layout = 4 points
And to stay accountable, here are the blocks I have already made for this quilt for Libby. So, I'm starting the challenge with 8 blocks that do not count for any points. If I get this quilt finished, I'll start another.
Libby has a trundle bed and wants a "horsey" quilt for the other bed to match her current wonky log cabin quilt so I'm just copying this design with fussy cuts of horse fabric as the middle square.
