Last year I attempted to take part in the 100 days 100 blocks quilt along. I started out strong posting 4 blocks on four consecutive days on Instagram then life got in the way…

I had not attempted a Quilt Along (QAL) before… it is not that I am not a joiner, I just do not do well with enforced schedules….

I do love the idea of being given a structure to work to but trying to make a block a day can be a hard practice to get into….

I have made a quilt using Tula Pink’s 100 Blocks book before.  I did not make all the blocks the first time and it was the same this time…

There are some blocks in the book that I look at and think life is too short….

But since the quilt along finished I have been making a block here and there….

I am now up to 48 blocks which is enough for a quilt I think….

I am not sure what I will do with them… actually, if I am honest,  I am not sure where I have stashed them at the moment…

I put them somewhere safe and I can not find them…

Do not judge me… things got a little crazy a few months ago when our teenager moved back in with us…

and my stash and bits had to be hauled out of the spare bedroom…

I think this may be the one and only QAL I do… it will take an extra ordinary project to make me want to repeat this experience…

How do you feel about quilting along?  Have you done any?  What was your experience? Any tips?
