Two Retreats - Back-to-Back
Last weekend I spent two days with the Music City Modern Quilters at a nearby state park. Aside from having a lot of fun, I managed to finish one project.

I also got three-quarters of the way into assembling Starfall, which I had started in January 2017. I put the finishing touches on it at the Nuts and Bolts retreat in Kentucky this week.

Quite a departure from my usual, huh? A lot of bright scraps went into this one!
An oldie-but-goodie made an appearance; I call this one Sunflower Braid.

The braid was started in a Power Cutting class with Debby Caffrey many years ago and stayed in the box until I finally found a suitable fabric to be the separator strip. I'm not sure if I will add anything to the top and bottom.
My last near-finish is Eventide, a Miss Rosie pattern that quite a few folks were working on several years ago.

The colors are a lot more subtle than what shows in this photo. The pattern calls for another column of Ohio stars on each side. I have the blocks made; I just ran out of time as I had to head home early. More on that later.
While I have your attention, let me remind you about a
mystery block quilt-along I will be hosting next month. Check back here this Saturday to get the details!
I am amazed at how much you accomplish at your retreats. You have some great quilts in the works here! Star falling is my favorite....all of those bright fabrics. :)
