We were inspired by two quilts at the Northern Star Quilt Show.
This word is SQUARE - square dance, Times square, etc.
Norma's word is CAT: Cat's Pajamas
Pauline's word is EYE: Eye of the World
Nancy's word is TIME: Showtime
My word is BEE: Queen Bee
I am planning to make 9 blocks and make a wall hanging for my sewing room using the potholder method like my buddy Wendy at The Constant Qulter. who has perfected this technique.
I think it will be great fun and I have so many ideas for my word. Stay tuned or jump in and pick a word to start your own.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!

those are cute and bright - a wall of "potholder" size quilts is a neat idea I have thought of making some for one of my walls a little larger than that but still small.
I absolutely love this idea and these quilts are sensational! Can't wait to see the next installment and of course your finished "potholder" quilt!!
What a fun project! Love that you are making the blocks potholder-style and can't wait to see more!
What a fun challenge! Do you each choose your own word for the month, or does the group choose and each participant makes her own variation? I could also see them assembled into a book format -- an "album" of little quilts.
This sounds like a very creative challenge!
I love this idea! I like them all very much and what a fun way to get those creative juices going. I've been thinking of potholder quilts ever since we had a speaker talking about those made during the civil war....the original "quilt as you go"!
These are so cute! I'm anxious to see what you do with your little quilts - what a fun idea. And I LOVE your Bee!!!
Such a great idea and great interpretations, already!! So very impressive!
xxxs,
I am anxious to see the rest of the blocks. So very interesting.
Super fun idea for these blocks...funny how certain words conjure up different images for us all...
i would call them "Pun-ey blocks" Le bon mot...;))) hugs, Julierose
A very cool and challenging idea. Your group is going to have fun.
So very clever! A really fun idea for a challenge.
I look forward to seeing your potholder wall hanging.
So clever quilts. Thanks for the inspiration and eye candy.
Eye catching! A fun pastime with friends. (I won't be sharing with my SIL, the bee keeper... she'll want one of yours.)
