Back from retreat!

My three day summer retreat is over and it was so much fun.  I was the only one from Minnesota again.  It's great to have quilting friends from all over the U.S.A.
Here is a peek of what I worked on most of the time:


The main part is all together and I'm working on a pieced border.  I cut this out in December, pieced 12 blocks in Florida in February and pieced 13 blocks this weekend and put all 25 blocks together.  Whew!

++++++++

And I just used Random Number Generator to pick a number for my
little Red, White & Blue mini!
The winner is #116 - 
Scrapbook-ChickADoodle.
Please send your mailing address and I'll send it off this week.

Wow - you got a lot done on a beautiful quilt! I need to make a nine-patch block for an exchange, so I think I'll use your pattern.

Mary you did a great job on this quilt top. The blocks are all amazing and perfectly pieced. I enjoyed retreating with you again this year. It was such a blast. By the way, i went to Thai restaurant for dinner after the retreat and had my first chai latte. Thanks to you I'm now hooked!
