RBD Block Challenge 2024 – getting ready

The 2024 RBD Block Challenge releases the first block tomorrow. Are you ready? I am!

I have downloaded the fabric requirements and pulled fabric from my stash that matched the recommended colors. All the fabric has been washed, starched, ironed and is ready to go.  

I did make one slight adjustment. They recommend using a multi color dot. I didn’t have anything in my stash that worked well with this color palette. I did, however, have a yard of silver dots but not the 1 5/8 yards they recommend. I also viewed the sneak peak of the finished quilt and I think I will be able to make it work with a few minor changes. 

I am most excited about the black and white striped binding.  I have seen several quilts that used striped binding. What an impact it makes! I purchased this striped fabric a few months back for the purpose of binding with no project in mind. I guess we will have to wait until summer to see how it turns out.

If you want a sneak peak of the final quilt or would like to join me on this quilt along head to Riley Blake Designs blog to find all the information you need. 

I will post my completed first block in a few days. Until then, take life one stitch at a time.
