My retreat

 I was finishing off leftover projects, two were sets of setting blocks that I opted not to use in the end and another leftover HSTs. 

I made, sashed and joined these cross blocks originally cut out for
the Fish Quilt. It is narrow and long but meets 
Quilts 4 Care Leavers specifications very neatly so that is the plan.

More crosses originally intended for the Bondoon Quilt .
While away I added the borders. mitring the corners.

Yet another was of extra leftover Tilda HSTs now square in squares for a baby quilt though the arrangement went a bit off piste.




I added a binding to the Kasbah quilt and then put it on my bed in the hotel. It was a delight to open the door to my room. More hand sewing to do when I have time.

This was started in a Mandy Munroe workshop


And I pieced and bordered the Westminster blocks I made as part of sharing Maria Spiller's workshop when she had to cancel at the last minute because of illness in the house.

The pink came from Purple Stitches, an end of bolt.
This may be a splash of colour on a hospice bed
.

My major piece was sashing and bordering my OZ quilt though lack of fabric meant I didn't finish till I got home.



So I think I was quite productive and now have quite a pile of quilting to get through.

Such a lovely variety! I especially like the Oz quilt and the green crosses.
