Leader/Ender Challenge Fun -- Progress made in October

 This month I made four leader/ender challenge blocks.


Bottom left block has feet and tails!  I love finding feet and tails in quilts.  These four blocks bring my total to 15 blocks made.  My yellow count is 8/pink count is 7.

I stuck to the pink/yellow/neutral color scheme.  Can you tell that I am using vintage sheets as my neutrals?  It think they are super fun!

When making my leader/enders, I usually use them as a true leader ender--meaning I usually only sew one seam and then I go right back to the next project that needs to run under the needle.  Sometimes I do it between block sets, sometimes I do it by binding corners and such.  But it is usually just one seam--maybe it's just two 2" squares sewn together.  This is definitely a long-term project.

I'm excited about the 2025 Four Patch Fun Leader/Ender Challenge led by Bonnie Hunter.  I pulled some more pinks, yellows, and neutrals.  Get all the details on this challenge at Quiltville's Quips & Snips!

I don't know how big this quilt will be.  I will continue to make Leader/Enders until about May or June.  (Bonnie Hunter usually starts a new leader/ender in July.)

I haven't participated in the RSC for several years. I'm thinking this pattern would be a good one to use to piece blocks in 2026. I know Bonnie will up with a new L & E design in the summer but I'm always behind the crowd in making projects. Happy stitching!
