Retreat success!

 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 !
