Project Quilting you really pushed me to experiment and use my mind, not just following a pattern. At first I was not inspired by the challenge (honesty).
Then decided, challenge accepted and started looking at my library of books. Got out the old U.S. State Blocks, circa 1988 and my The Ultimate Quilting book circa 1999. Both written decades before I started quilting but found at resale shops.
Ideas lead to a mashup including a traditional two color South Carolina block, had to downsize a 12 inch block to 5 inches. Then channeled my inner Laura Wasilowski for the applique, still learning.
I used over 20 different, never before used, decorative stitches on my machine.
Project Quilting thanks for making me use my mind palace.

What a great idea, to use the state block too!
