Recent Quilting Retreat

Last weekend I headed out of town.  I landed in a small town with a church camp.  I did lots of sewing.  The March UFO Challenge by Judy L. was completed.  I am so excited that I finally finished a project.  This quilt is an old leader and ender project.  One retreat I made lots of 4 patches.  After returning home I started playing with them on the design wall and decided on this pattern.  It can be found on Quiltville.com under 16patch & pinwheels.  I just was careful with the coloring.
The blocks IMG_4289 web_1_1are quilted with baptist fans.  The green with a large meandering.  The eggplant has just a line through it.  This gives me some time to work on the UFO quilts from January and February.
More pictures and stories to come.  I am taking another week off and will post again later in the month.

  3. Oh I have that pattern on my wish list too. Yours is beautiful. You have lots of time to finish your other UFOs. (I am kidding cause I am not getting much done at all). I do hope you get some good sewing time while you are off.

  4. What an interesting pattern! I love how the pinwheels appear and then, to me, seem to disappear. The colors are really nice too! ---"Love"

  6. That is so cool! The diamonds stand out as rows and the pinwheels almost disappear. Great job!

  7. I remembre when you had this on your design wall and were pondering colour choices. It came out beautifully.
