I've been doing a lot of quilting but only have one finish to show. There are a couple of others but they are gifts so I'll wait to share them.
The finish is the second Simply Squares Series Quilt, Turquoise with Yellow.

I spent last weekend on retreat with friends. We had a great time as usual and were all glad to make it home before the blizzard hit Sunday night!
I finished a few quilt tops during the retreat. The first top is a Simply Squares Quilt, Red with Navy Polka Dot. The navy is not as dark as the photo appears.
I also put together Simply Squares Quilt, Red with Navy print. Again, the navy is not as dark as it appears.
This Take Five Quilt will also be a donation. It's been years since I last used this pattern.
Another donation quilt is this Double Irish Chain.
While at the retreat, K gifted me some flannel to use in donation quilts. One of her friends received this flannel from someone and K thought I would use it. I'll try!
Yes, there are 8 good sized pieces and none of them go together! I'm trying to match up cottons from my stash with each flannel.
When I finished the last gift quilt today, I decided to use the sports flannel print from the first photo of flannels above, and make Flannel Quilt Series - Blue with Sports Print.
When I stated the Simply Square Series, I envisioned 3 or 4 quilts. I think there will be more. And now there is a Flannel Quilt Series. I think I need more hours each day to quilt!
Health Update: We are both doing pretty good!
