Three Mind Blowing Ways To Make a Patchwork Quilt
Patchwork quilting has for a long time had reputation as being the the past-time of mothers, and grannies. But I am going to challenge that concept today, and here is how…
You’re going to discover three new and exciting tactics for making a patchwork quilt.
1) Get Stronger With Each Patch
To commence you off with something easy, here’s a challenge that’s going to push your body and your skills to the limit.
Cut up and collect all of your quilting patches, then sort them into groups. For each group, assisgn one fitness exercise.
After you sew each patch on to your quilt, you then have to go and do that exercise. When you have it all sorted, it should look something like this:
- Green patch – ten push ups
- Purple patch – 15 sit ups
- White Patch – 10 chin ups
- Orange Patch fifteen squats
When you finish your quilt, you’ll have a body as hard as granite and the power to clobber a dozen security guards. Be sure to use your new found strength smartly.
2) The Candle Challenge
Do you ever find that quilting is chewing up all of your time or merely find that it just simply takes far too long to make each quilt?
Well then it is time to get a hold of a candle, light it and stick it between your toes. You start your quilt when you light the candle and do not stop till either the quilt is finished or the candle runs out.
If the candle burns out first, you have to throw out your current patchwork quilt and start again.
You’ll be astonished by how fast you can put a quilt together when you do not care about the small inconsistencies and you’ll be shocked at just how many corners you can cut to save time here and there!
3) Ultra Extreme Mode
This one is short and simple.
Get a deadly animal, a poisionous snake, a handfull of scorpions or a wild tiger and put them in a room.
Then get your quilting materials prepared and dive in. The challenge here is to get in, make your patchwork quilt and get out before anything bad happens.
Yes, you can hold your head proud when you complete this intense challenge, knowing you are the most hardcore of quilters of any that you know. And you can rest in piece with the understanding that you can stare down any quantity of lethal animals too!
So lets give the patchwork quilt pre-conception a good shake up and prove to the world that we’re nothing to sneeze at!
Readers please note : This is all in good fun, don’t actually think about doing any of the above. Well except maybe the exercise one, that should be alright.
