These are all great but those placemats for F1 shows thinking outside the box.. Cool!

Kudos to your hubby's idea for the quilting!

Wasn't real fond of the fabric but the projects turned out very nice. Was difficult to pick just one as I really liked two a lot... Chris

Having seen the fabric they started with, they all deserve to win. I could not have begun to make something so nice. Probably would have ended up with pot holders or mug rugs.

Congratultions Jean!! The placemats are beautiful.

Challenges like this require "thinking outside the box" & I'm sooooo not good at that. Everyone did a fantastic job on their contributions to this challenge.

• • • I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw those numbers and they kept climbing. I wanted to scream THANK YOU right then and there, but Lori would have had my head. I also wanted to help her keep the post bumped up, but I was afraid you all would think I was bucking for more votes.

I think all the projects were terrific and I especially liked Jody's wall hanging. I have to get ready for work, but I'll be back later to try and answer your questions.

Thank you all so MUCH!
