Well , I had a wild weekend! First virtual retreat ever!
It was a great success. The comradery and comfort of
sewing along with other was very evident.
Big bonus, I actually got things done!
Left on my design wall at the end of the weekend,
is the Aliens have Arrived quilt .
I put it at the end of the weekend list since it will take a
bit more thinking to get going.
I had planned on getting it complete this month but
other projects jumped forward in line.
It even lived behind some projects
from a few weeks ago for awhile.
There are material squares in some of joining
spaces to audition colors.
I am leaning toward the burgundy or black.
Those two colors seem to bring out the
interest in the blocks.
It began with 4 x 4 blocks but that made it too small.
I had 3 more blocks left so I did up another from
spare triangle cuts and made the block arrangement
4 x 5. Still smaller than my usual 82" square
quilts so I am making up 5 more blocks. There will
even be some recently acquired scraps in this quilt.
Two flimsies were completed this weekend! Yay!
The found top Stretched Stars had 5 more rows added.
This little item was ready to assemble.
I had laid it out on the design wall but had to remove it.
The blocks rows were
labeled and then stacked together by rows.
It went together with only a few errors in placement !!
It is a string star!
Yes there is a trend, I have a thing for stars!
There are even more blocks in the works
for another quilt.
Another item completed is a quilt back
using 20" blocks from my stash.
All set to sandwich another flimsy!
Lots done but always lots I get to do !
Linking up with :
Stay safe and sew on!
