Patchwork quilting has long had reputation as being the the past-time of mothers, and grandmas. Well I'm going to challenge that idea today, and here's how...

You're going to discover three new and exciting tactics for making a patchwork quilt.

1) Get Stronger With Every Patch

To commence you off with something easy, here's a challenge that's going to push your body and your skills to the limit.

Cut up and collect all of your quilting patches, then sort them into groups. For each group, assisgn one fitness exercise.

After you stitch each patch onto your patchwork quilt, you then have to go and do that exercise. Once you have it all sorted out, it should look something similar to this:

- Green patch - ten pushups

- Purple patch - 15 sit ups

- White Patch - ten chin ups

- Orange Patch 15 squat thrusts

When you finish your quilt, you'll have a body as hard as granite and the power to clobber a dozen security guards. Be sure to use your new found strength smartly.

2) The Candle Challenge

Do you find that quilting is eating up all your time or just find that it just simply takes far too long to make each quilt?

Well then it's time to grab ahold of a candle, light the wick and put it in between your toes. You start your quilt when you light the candle and don't stop until either the quilt is finished or the candle runs out.

If the candle burns out first, you have to throw out your current patchwork quilt and start again.

You'll be astonished by how fast you can put a quilt together when you do not care about the small inconsistencies and you'll be shocked at just how many corners you can cut to save time here and there!

3) Ultra Extreme Mode

This one is short and easy.

Get a threatening animal, a poisionous snake, a handfull of scorpions or a wild tiger and put them in a room.

Then get your quilting materials prepared and dive in. The challenge here is to get in, make your patchwork quilt and get out before anything bad happens.

Yes, you can hold your head high when you complete this extreme challenge, knowing you're the most hardcore quilter of any that you know. And you can rest secure in the knowledge that you can stare down any amount of fatal animals too!

So lets give the patchwork quilt pre-conception a good shake up and prove to the world that we're nothing to sneeze at!

Readers please note : This is all in good fun, don't actually think about doing any of the above. Well except maybe the exercise one, that should be alright.
