    The new LBQ mystery has been announced and its weekly starting 6/1. https://www.laundrybasketquilts.com/...ery-quilt-2022
    The fabric requirements for the smaller quilt (6” blocks and 54” square finished quilt) is 8 yards of medium/dark and 2 yards of light. There will also be a larger block/quilt which requires 20 yards of fabric. Even for the smaller quilt that’s probably more than I can get just from my stash.

    Alas, I’m afraid that even the larger quilt wouldn’t make a dent in my stash.

    lol Thank you! I’m glad it looks good because I was out of fabric and decided I wanted to finish with something from my stash.

    Thank you Suzslo, I have been looking for a quilt along or sew along to work on this summer. This one looks perfect, I love her quilts too. I will sign up for the newsletter.

    Here is my Rhododendron trail, finished! I didn't use the maroon, I used green. Love this one but it's so big! Note to self: Make half the blocks next time.

    Absolutely lovely. The green really adds to the quilt and to me, actually says Rhododendron Trail.
