Retreat Success

Oh,  retreat was good to me!

Lots of stroller tops are done up so I can get quilting this week.

The mini vacation for me is coming up,

so I'd like to have them quilted and ready for binding

before I head off to the woods.

Here's a little show of what was finished last weekend.

Found pale blue  5" squares paired with I Spy blocks,

and this little stroller quilt was the result.

Cute as a bug and fun to look at.

Next up was a visit to New York to see the

 Rockettes march across the stage!

Just a few misplacements and 

the garlic knot quilt top was complete.

It's just spicy enough to be fun and should be great to quilt .

The salmon were sewn up quite nicely

 although one setting block did get lost in transportation.

As luck would have it,

a perfectly good triangle was found in a scrap bag

given by a friend. Spring spawning was saved!

Not be outdone, 

some 6 1/2" blocks got into

 the mix and went together in a cutesy

5 x 7 arrangement of I Spy fun.

Just look at those happy pigs in the corners!

I will be swapping out one of reds in the 

top row.  Those dancing cats just didn't behave!

There was also an interesting little floral block.

Paired up with even more leftovers from other projects,

it turned into a sweet little quilt that is sure to delight.

The fused centre will be 

grid stitched quite tightly so 

there's no danger of the applique lifting

Finally, there were bricks of two sizes 

waiting to go into column quilts.

These were leftovers from the I Spy block cutting frenzy.

These will be paired with some interesting fabrics and 

make some fun quilts for gifts or donations.

Just a few more blocks for equalizing the 

 length and they should be ready.

The smaller bricks ( 5 1/2") will find 

their design this coming week. 

Till then, happy stitching!

Stay Safe and Sew on!
