In addition to visiting with friends from across the country (I think the count was 13 states) and meeting new people, my goal was to get the borders on my quilts. I took six quilts -- 4 just needed borders, one needed the blocks sewn together and one is a stripy quilt which just needed the strips sewn together. I got 4 done to the top stage. My Black and White Strip Twist was the first quilt top to be finished. I started this quilt Super Bowl Weekend. It's a Bonnie Hunter/Quiltville.com pattern.
We arrived Thursday afternoon around 2:00 PM. After setting up, I got to work. There was plenty of space to stretch out the quilt to measure it without getting in any one's way. Has the power not gone out in a '10 grid' area, I would have finished it Thursday night. Instead, I went to bed early and got up Friday morning about 5:30 AM. I am NOT a morning person, so this was unusual for me.
So I take it you had a good time at the retreat.
ReplyDeleteI love how those twists all turn out differently. I would not have thought of a black and white one, but it's beautiful. I like the border treatment you chose, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast in this quilt. It looks fabulous. Hugs Jan Mac
