5 in 5...a mini challenge!

Hi girls...Happy Friday to you all!

I came to the startling realisation this morning that today is the 20th of July...the 20th!! I'm not sure where the month has gone, but one thing I DO know for sure...I'm a bit behind with  my SKoW stitching!

Know the feeling?

 So I set myself a little challenge, and thought some of you girls might want to join me :)
Since the blocks for this quilt are quite small (well, mostly), I've challenged myself to complete 5 of them in the next 5 days.

I plan to do the July blocks and a couple of the August blocks, but you could start anywhere really! I spent the afternoon yesterday preparing the blocks and stitched the first one while watching a movie last night...too easy! The cool nights are perfect weather for stitching ;)

What do you say? Anyone up for the challenge?

TTFN

Sounds like a challenge I need to give myself ... although it will be more like 20 in 20 since I'm still way back in Dec blocks!! ... Your butterfly looks great!!

It's a great idea !!! Unfortunately I celebrate the birthdays of my kids (18 and 20) next Sunday....and I have to prepare too many things to be able to follow your challenge !! But I keep the idea for another time !

Great Idea but I'm afraid I am way too far behind......hand piecing my 1 1/2" squares too - crazy! All the best
