What DD and I accomplished at our weekend retreat
 

Every year my DD and I attend a weekend retreat with a patchwork group and every year we try and come up with a project that will keep us going all weekend.

The week before we left I spent 3 days cutting the entire quilt and we spent 2 and a half days at retreat piecing the top. Then on Thursday I quilted it at our LQS on her longarm.

The pattern is Butterflies are Free by Pam Bono and is King Size 104 inches square

From start to finish it took 3 weeks

Thank you for looking

MiraB ... another outstanding quilt! The colours/fabrics chosen are a great combo. It will look ever so lovely on "your" bed, with the simpler top design and the large butterflies flying around amidst the flowers Congratulations to you two, for seeing it thru to the completion so quickly following the retreat!

My DD gets to keep this one, maybe next year it will be my turn haha

Hahahaha this one is for DD, but seeing as how it came home with me, I may just try it out on my bed for a couple of weeks. I will visit DD in a fortnight and she gets to put it on her new bed..

Oh my gosh, I absolutely love that. Awesome job!

That is so very pretty!!!

Sew Beautiful ! The colors, the pattern.... its all perfect.

Absolutely stunning. I have two daughters and neither one quilts or sews; wish they did.

Beautiful, love those Pam Bono designs.

Yes gorgeous"..........

Amazing! What a beautiful quilt.

You did a great job on your quilt and in such a short time! We really can accomplish a lot when we put our minds to it. Pam Bono designs are amazing.

I know a few have already said "WOW"....but honestly, i read your post before scrolling down - and "OH WOW" just popped out of my mouth. Spectacular quilt....i love everything about this....Was it from a pattern or is this your own creation. A great collaboration between you and your DD for sure !!!

Ditto what she says! Absolutely stunning!!!

Pam Bono is my favorite designer. You did a wonderful job on this quilt. I love the color choices you made. I think you should inter it into a quilt show, it will be sure to win a prize. Beautiful job!.

What a gorgeous quilt!

You and your DD created a great work of beauty!! Fantastic!

Wow, that is so gorgeous!
