I thought that I would bring this quilt. It's from Corey Yoder made with her fabrics. I've liked the pattern for a while and started this about two months ago. It has cute sashing with stars in it and I hope to actually finish it for myself. I have collected a lot of Corey's fabrics and feel like I could make 5-6 quilts with what I've got. So I'd better finish at least one of them.
This soon-to be-made quilt is half square triangles made from an older line of Tilda fabrics, called Plum Garden. One day I just took it out and started to work on this layout for it. I don't have a pattern; I just saw a photo on the Internet.
I'm going to bring this along with me on the retreat, also, so I'm hoping to get some things done while I'm there.
I've numbered all of the pieces and will need to square them and sew them into rows. I will have to figure out what to use for a border - the fabric line is old and I can't find any more of it.
But I will figure out something when I get to that point.
When I was working on the Plum Garden quilt above, I got a bit carried away and started to sew up a couple more charm square packs from assorted Tilda collections.
So now I have enough to make a second quilt from my half square triangles. I sewed together 144 of them last week in preparation for my quilt retreat.
We'll see what actually gets done. LOL
FYI - there are other quilts laying around that just need borders, backing and/or quilting to finish them up.
I'm going to try to finish those up by the end of the year. Maybe I'll throw them in the retreat bag, as well. I will need way more than three days, but I will try to get as much done as I can. Wish me luck!
