I had a great week. I spent the first portion getting ready to attend quilt retreat. I sewed strips and cut fabrics for special projects. Below are the two quilts in progress that I worked on. Then, I have a slide show of projects I saw during retreat.
First, here is my log cabin quilt I took out of my UFOs to move further along. I needed to add two rounds to each of the blocks. I only have 9 circles shown, but I have all 64 blocks completed, enough to make 16 full circles. I'll lay this out on Friday during my craft guild meeting at work. I'm looking forward to sewing the quilt top together.
Then, I worked on the main retreat project for which I prepped the strip sets at home. The project is from Ricky Tims' book
Kool Kaleidoscope Quilts. If you haven't tried this technique, please do so. I must warn you that it can become addicting.
Here is a link of a slide show of some of the participants and projects I saw at retreat. We had so many projects going on among us. "Ain't no mountain high enough" to stop the creativity.
For some reason blogger is not recognizing the YouTube video so click here.
