Oh no, it's time for another Retreat!

 Yep. The time is upon me and I need to get 

ready to go to retreat. 

The sale is over so my time is now my own.

The first thing I'm going to 

take is Rainbow Scrap Quilt from the design wall.


It needs to be stitched

 together so it'll be an easy one to pack and to work on.

I have a small scrap quilt 

that some people call a waffle block.



 

I just need to figure out if I'm going 

to be adding lattice to it to make it a little bit larger

 or cut down a few bigger blocks to make them fit.

I do have an extra bag of scrap pieces 

already put together in strips 

so I might use that to make some more blocks.


Next I'll sort out and make 

more colored strings to put together for 

the next in this three-part series 

of rainbow scrap column quilts.

Just like a Marvel sequel,

 they are getting a little bit smaller 

with every one but it should have equal impact.

That will be good stitching for a retreat.

After that I also have the rainbow

 colored diamonds and two more steps 

two the mount scrapmore mystery to complete.

A random box yielded a potatoe chip type block 

that can be use as stop and goes or just be sewn up.


No way to tell when this was started!

Doing a fabric sale does take up a little bit of time 

but that's what Quilters do.

I think we all just have to sew faster!

Stay Safe and Sew on!
