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.
