Whimsy vs Ninja : The Great Quilt Off!

My mom and I made this quilt together, she sewed the quilt top and I did the rest.

Both me and my mom are very competitive, so when I challenged her to a great and wonderus dual she just couldn't resist...little does she know I have every intent to show her exactly what ninja's are made of! I don't think she fully knows what she's gotten herself into....*grin*

Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm happy to announce Quilting Ninja's first quilt off! 

The competitors :

Whimsy...
My own mother, fun and whimsical. She is comparable to a rose, beautiful and sweet. But don't let her sweetness fool you, she has thorns! She's very confident she'll win (Even my dad is on her side!) But we'll just see about that....

Quilting preferences: Likes layer cakes and other precut fabrics, doesn't enjoy cutting quilts. Machine binds quilts and usually doesn't attempt anything that requires too much patience...She likes the simple stuff.


Ninja...
Skilled and semi-stealthy, I always attempt the things others would call too ambitious. I'm not at all whimsical, but make up for it with uniqueness. I sometimes bite off more then I can chew, however I'm rarely discouraged. I'm extremely confident I'll be the champion.

Quilting preferences: Likes by-the-yard cuts and loves cutting. Hand sews binding and loves elaborate things that require a lot of patience, but also has an appreciation for simple things.


The objective is simple, whoever makes the most quilts by January 1st, 2011 wins.
The prize, $30 to spend on fabric and serious bragging rights.
I will write our progress on the sidebar, and post updates every week or so.
 I'm sure when this is over a rematch will take place, competitions keep us motivated!

Go and check Whimsy's blog too, I'll make sure she posts on a regular basis :)
