Project Quilting 14.3 {54-40 or Fight}

When the prompt for PQ 14.3 came out on Sunday (54-40 or Fight), I was putting the finishing touches on a quilt that I will share with you next week. I wasn't sure I'd have time to participate, and the prompt's reference of the traditional 54-40 or Fight quilt block didn't immediately spark anything for me. But it was...

To help me feel a little more enthusiastic about getting started with the Board & Batten quilt along, I treated myself to a new OLFA blade on my rotary cutter. I know I should change my blade out a lot more frequently; this really did go a...
