Phoebe's Spool Quilt, from Phoebe's Birthday
Inspired by a fellow knitter and quilter on Ravelry (thanks, Kristy!) I have decided to try something new here in this space. She was interested in a Phoebe's Spool Quilt Quilt-a-long (QAL), which I think is a great idea. So it got me thinking....
Then, I heard that a friend was looking for a guest poster on her blog (thanks, Amy!) for NaBloPoMo and I decided I would like to share something about this quilt on her blog. So I thought some more....
Finally, in the true spirit of quilting from scraps, taking a lead from Kristy, and in a spirit of Yankee ingenuity, I decided to take it one step further and make this a 100% pure stash-busting project. No shopping allowed.
So, here we go-Phoebe's Spool Quilt stash-to-quilt stash-busting Challenge QAL:
1. November Quilt challenge- create a Phoebe's Spool Quilt during the month of November, posting plans, photos, and progress here as I go.
2. NaBloPoMo- blogging every day this month as I go through the process.
3. This is a pure stash-busting project. No trips to the store, not for thread, fabric, needles, or batting. I need to create the entire quilt from what I have socked away here in my studio.
4. My goal is to create a twin-sized quilt for our daughter, pieced, sandwiched, quilted, and bound, in one month.
Can I do it? I have no idea. We will see!
