On Sunday I decided to join the Prairie Crossroads Challenge that Leslie with The Seasoned Homemaker was sponsoring. The challenge is only for a week from May 11th to May 18th and you only have to create 1 block, either a 12" or 6". When she had posted this some time ago that this was going to happen I loved the layout of the block and wanted to give it a try. She provided the patterns, a video and a Facebook group where we could share our progress and get help, if needed.

I decided to use solid fabrics from my stash of Bella Solids and cut and made the block all in one evening. The darker fabric is a deep navy, but in this pic looks black.

I still haven't decided if I will make a couple more and turn it into a table runner, make a pillow or what, but for now I can say I finished the challenge, which was my goal in the first place.

After a day or two of posting this post, I decided to do another 12" and 2 of the 6" blocks and turn it all into a mini quilt. I still need to quilt it and add the binding, but this is the outcome at this point.
