Retreat Progress

All right, I am not going blind. Just a massive inflammation from bad mascara. Ladies, throw out that old stuff you've been hanging on to and get a new mascara wand.

Now back to quilty things. I finished a Quilter's Catch All but ran short on time to take a photo of it in the daylight. Come on back tomorrow and take a peek.

I started putting my blocks together for my Trail Mix Quilt. There are 180 blocks. Some of the teenie tiny squares are cut 1 1/4 inch before seam allowances.

Here is what I made in advance preparing for this fun retreat:

32 Four-Patch Blocks

38 Double-Four Patch Blocks

44 Triple Four-Patch

24 Double Nine-Patch Blocks

42 Nine-Patch Blocks

Whew!!!

So now that all the blocks are done, I am starting to put them together. Quilt Police don't come here. With teenie tiny squares finished at 3/4 inch, I need to tell you that I am not the most accurate 1/4 inch seam sewer.

Now for some fun stuff
