One Thing, One Week Challenge

I joined the one thing, one week challenge last week.  My goal was to finish a strip quilt that I bought at the Houston Quilt Festival many years ago.  Well, I finished the top EXCEPT for the border which is made up of many flying geese.  That will have to wait until after Christmas.  I am happy to say that I met my goal and finished the "inside" of the quilt.  I can now enter it into the pool for a prize!  Here is the quilt top, minus the flying geese border.

As I have mentioned before in this blog, I had many challenges with this quilt, but overall, it turned out pretty good and it feels great to have it done! 

Thanks, Amy, for the challenge.  Not sure I would have finished it without the "push"!
