I finished one other quilt at the retreat. This 48" by 54" quilt is for a special little guy.
The center has roads with firetrucks and I think little cars could drive those same roads.
The sides have cars, trucks, school buses, campers, emergency vehicles,...
The backing is airplanes. I free-motion quilted this with a large meander using 40-wt Glide #10877 Sterling thread on the front and #70187 Ruby on the back.
I worked on a couple other projects at the retreat also.
I am making quarter square triangles in bright colors. This is an ongoing, fun project.
I enjoy the improv when making these - anything goes. Fifteen blocks are done; I think I need around fifty. This will end up as an I-spy donation quilt.
I finished piecing the Pink Chunky Quilt. Yes, I'm still trying to use up my many scraps.
Today is Thursday - I think that means it's time for a storm since we have a storm almost every Thursday lately. Looks like the rain will begin soon and change to snow overnight. Sounds like a good day for quilting!
For the I Spy, you can quilt fun things in the white parts. I did that (by hand) for a racing quilt for hubby way back for our 20th Anniversary.
