Quiltathon Day

I participated in Judy's (patchworktimes.com) quiltathon this weekend....and this is what I finished! My 100 9-patch blocks for my Guild's September project. The group is doing their blocks in cream and Thimbleberry fabrics, but I decided to use up my scraps and did mine in muslin and reds. We will learn how to cut the blocks and sew everything back together at the September Meeting...it's a really pretty, scrappy quilt when you are done.



I have four quilters signed up for the Fall (Sept-Nov) Journal quilt challenge....any other quilters want to join Gina, Lorraine, Kris and me? Info is in my Jul 16th post...check it out!



In Closing:I sent my registration in for the Utah Quilt Fest. I am hoping to get a all day class on fabric dyeing and a all day class on strip piecing with curves. I also signed up for a nighttime lecture on using up your scraps and the Opening Night get together to meet the teachers.



Do you have a State or favorite Quilt Fest you routinely attend....please share!

Oh pretty! I bet there's no shortage of pretty bed coverings at your house.

Looks like you were busy! I really love piecing. I think it's my favourite part of quilting.

well done....nothing like a "quiltathon" to get lots done....I am off to a three day workshop at the end of this week....it is held each year at Loxton which is about three hours from where I live and we have four designers there...it was great last year and I am really looking forward to going this year....
