I was lucky enough to get to participate in a local sewing retreat over the weekend. The Neighborhood Center was a huge hit! Everyone commented on how striking it was and checked out all the little details. I finished my addition today and will share at quilt group on Tuesday and then drop it in the mail on Friday the 18th. I had a little issue getting my border on and squaring up the current top, so I cheated and used/added almost 8 inches of new border. It currently measures about 64 inches square.

Thank you Carrie! The street signs are stinking cute. I love where it is going size wise as I am planning to use the finnished quilt. At times I also struggle with squaring up etc. I hope everyone likes what I did with it to make it come together. The work you did looks great, Carrie. Thank you.

I spend hours obsessing and looking at ideas over what to do for another round on Carrie's arrows quilt. Yesterday morning I woke up at a little past 3 AM and started designing and cutting. I guess I was busy with it in my sleep. I worked throughout the whole day and woke up again today at a little past 3 this morning and completed the round. I had bought black for background for this round robin and a white piece of low volume for myself. When it was time to get started I used the white low volume because the top seemed to need it. I hope this works Carrie. I am happy with the outcome.
