In response to several comments yesterday hoping to see my Easy Street border fabrics:
 |
| The border colors are so rich that they should pick out the same colors in the quilt center which kind of recede behind the lime green. |
The retreat was held at Camp Asbury on Silver Lake, a whopping 3 or 4 miles from my house, but there were people from up to 50 miles away as well as an attendees friend from Florida - she had fun in the snow! My previous experience at Asbury had only been for 3 rescue calls - and 2 of those were for quilt retreats. Luckily we didn't need an ambulance during our retreat!
Another project I worked on was my 4" leader-ender baskets. I kitted up quite a few blocks before the retreat but 90% of what I was working on was kind of self-leader-endering (new word!!) so I didn't get many made during retreat. Instead, I have been trucking away at them since and now have 10 more blocks done for a total of 40. Once I figure out how to do the layout I want in EQ I can determine how many more I need to make. I hope it's a lot because I really enjoy making them...
Ok, you know I had to bring some hexies with me but I didn't make much progress...and I didn't even take a picture for you because it's the same ole hexagon puzzle project. Tomorrow is hexie night at my LQS so I should make some good progress. My goal is to have this project done by the end of March. Keep your fingers crossed.

Cute little baskets, Sarah. How large a quilt do you plan to make with them, since you enjoy making them so much? : )
Love your border fabrics! They look fantastic, thanks for showing them.
Sounds like you had a great retreat, lots done and great not to have loads of travelling time.
Oh gracious, I love, LOVE that deep, rich purple! YUMMY!!!! Your baskets are sweet ... lots of lovely colors there! :)
Ohhhh...those border fabrics are just perfect - they are really going to be the perfect finish for this quilt. And, as always, I love your baskets - never met a basket that I didn't like!
