I have been a follower of lots of quilty blogs for a few years now, and I have always been interested in the way bloggers connect with each other through swaps and challenges and quilt-alongs.  It is amazing how many of those activities are going on in the quilty blogosphere, and I have often wondered where all these quilters find the time to participate and to do their own projects too.  (As for housework and childcare and meal prep, somehow that seems to get done as well; and many of these quilters also have jobs.  It makes me tired just to think about it.)
 
There's no child care necessary in our household (our only child is an adult not living at home) and I retired from my day job, so I am going to tackle my time management issues and join a quilt-along!  Natalia, she of Piece N Quilt, is having a Star Quilt Block of the Month Quilt Along.
 One block a month.....yeah, I can do that!  So I grabbed the button (look right) and now I'm off to my sewing room to search through my stash and make the first block. If all goes well, I'll be able to show you my first block very soon.
