First, the stash update. I'm out of the hole, over the edge!!

| Dusk to Dawn |
In this Week: 7.25 yards
In year to Date: 49.75 yards
Out this Week: 10.5 yards
Out Year to Date: 52.5 yards
Net Used 2014: 2.75 yards
How did I accomplish that? I finished Dusk to Dawn flimsy and made the back for a total of 4.25 yards.
I finished assembling Starstruck, added borders, and made the binding for another 4.25 yards. I'll admit that I added 3 yards for the borders after I decided to make this a gift for a special person.

| Comfort Quilt |
In addition, I donated 2 yards for a quick comfort quilt.
A couple of my other planned projects didn't get out of the box -- or, at least, didn't
stay out of the box. But I did finish the center of Celtic Solstice. I was short blue fabric for four BG blocks so I not only put them in the four corners, I turned the chevrons to make them stand out. Now to the borders .....

We had a lovely group of 18 ladies for some or all of the week. Two in the group were nuts for dolls. Their tiny charges kept a close watch on the proceedings.
Stick around for a quilt show. (Sorry I haven't learned how to insert a slide show, but it's on my to-learn list.)

Linking up with

Love your quilts! Thanks for all the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteI really like your Dusk to Dawn quilt. I really enjoyed seeing what everyone worked on during the week.
ReplyDeleteI have received so many comments on DtoD that I plan to do a tutorial and offer it as a free pattern. So start looking for fat quarters in two colors--light and dark.
DeleteWhat a neat quilt show! I think the Celtic Solstice has started its siren song and is calling my name! You have been very productive.
ReplyDeleteStill trying to decide what to do with the peaky and spike blocks in the border.
DeleteAll of your quilts are gorgeous. Dusk to Dawn and your Celtic Solstice are my favorites though. Congrats on being in the black.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate.
DeleteDusk to Dawn is beautiful - I love the lines of it. Great quilts from the other retreaters too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer. I'm planning to do a quilt-along, probably in May. I'll be sure to let you know about it. Tell your friends, too.
