Project Quilting is a yearly challenge run by Kim Lapacek at Persimon Dreams .  The theme for this week's challenge was "one" or "first" as the challenge started on January 1 this year.  I made One Duck and accomplished a bunch of firsts.  I recently bought a condo in Florida near family and Dec. 31rst, my brother helped me move my mother's sewing machine and paraphernalia to the condo.  So this is the first piece I have made in the new condo.    #projectquilting
