I cut and pieced these blocks during the retreat.
I bought a few extra fat quarters of green from the boat at a Little Bit of Lollys to use in the blocks. My favorite quilts are ones that have either fabrics from friends or fabrics that I've bought from a special place.
I've started to put the corners on the blocks.

This is the quilt I'm planning to make from the book When The Cold Wind Blows. There are parts of it I really like and some that I don't so I will be making my own version of it.
Today is my birthday, and I'm leaving on a bus trip bright and early tomorrow morning to the quilt show in Paducah, KY. I'll try and post from there on my phone, but if not I'll have photos when I get back.
I hope you find some time to stitch today.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
Happy Birthday LuAnn...Have a great time at the quilt show in Paducah...what fun you will have!

I haven't looked at it in a while, so I forgot the specific stuff in it. But I sure loved the book and still do!

Happy belated Birthday Lu Ann, Hope you enjoyed your bus trip on the day. A beautiful quilt and lovely block .The fabrics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBirthday greetings, and I hope the trip to Paducah is/was enjoyable and memorable. There's a lot to see in that city, whether you go during the big festival time or (as I've done 3 or 4 times) at quieter times of the year.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing photos when you have the time. What's on display in the museum this spring?
Looking good, LuAnn!
