2020 Monthly Color Challenge Quilt - January

January - Finch (Yellow)

Patterns by Jen has this month's block instructions and pattern on her blog. 

I have this fabulous Tula Pink dots fabric that I want to use as a background, so I bought a quarter yard of some of the month's colors to go with it. My LQS has all quilting cotton on sale and this Kona cotton colors are perfect!

When looking at the pattern, I soon realized that I wanted more color than the dots, so I switched the order of the fabrics. I started happily sewing my strips and when I went to iron them, something did not look right. I forgot the SCANT quarter inch seams. Don't be like Kathy, READ Jen's instructions.

I love how the bugs look in the squares.

There will be prizes from sponsors each quarter! Check out Jen’s blog for more details
