I have been working on the red and aqua D9P blocks as leaders and enders. I have sewn them into blocks made up of four small blocks. Next step is to get the larger blocks sewn together. The quilt will end up with five rows of five blocks. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Bliss aqua background floral for the border but decided I needed a small red inner border so I got that yesterday, along with enough extra for the binding so I have everything for the front of the quilt. I will worry about the backing after I finish the front.
I couldn’t sleep last night so I got up and started cutting for the retreat mystery quilt. I also got supplies to make a little something for each of the participants. I hope to get them made this afternoon. We are doing a takeoff on Oprah’s favorite things so during the retreat they will be getting little surprises.
