Riley Blake Designs Ready, Set, Block Challenge
Anybody ready for a quilt challenge? I am very happy to introduce this to you! It seems like at the beginning of every New Year, some of us look for (almost crave) the potential of a new project – especially one that continues over the course of several weeks or months. I have attached a link from Riley Blake Designs for you to discover and be inspired.

So now that you have checked out the invitation, this next link lists the fabric requirements for the entire project, as well as for each individual block. Speaking of fabric, this particular challenge calls for Riley Blake Confetti Cottons Solids! Why am I excited about this? Three words – Beauty, Choice and Economy! At the end of this project, you end up with a beautiful quilt, you get to choose your fabrics from the entire color spectrum and solid fabrics typically cost about half the price of designer fabrics!
So now that you have checked out the Fabric Requirements page, please know that the 6 Confetti Cottons shown are just suggestions – you can choose your own color palette.
This next link takes you directly to the instructions for the first block in the challenge – “Daisy Chain” – designed by Lori Holt.

Finally, to further encourage you to get started, here is a YouTube video (just over 25 minutes long) by Cindy Cloward of Riley Blake Designs, to walk you through the first block.
