Time sure flies! I forgot to post my Scrap Squad quilt. Click the link and you will see my blog post about the process of making it. There is a lot of piecing in this quilt but I love the purple! I named it Violets.
I have been working on many small projects, trying to tidy up some leftover blocks and pieces for doll quilts for charity. I got borders on my Christmas quilt, cut out more Itty Bitty blocks and started plotting for a quilt retreat in November. I went to a quilt show Oct. 17th in Spokane, WA. It was awesome and very inspiring. I hope to do a blog post on that soon.
These are two doll quilt tops I made from pieces of Scrap Squad projects. The green and white one is from a trial of adding green squares into the above quilt. The one on the right is from leftover Fairy Frost fabrics from my Gemstones quilt I showed in this post. Now if I could learn to take straight photos...

We went on a road trip to Utah last week. 1300 miles and 2 nights at our daughter's in Boise and 2 nights at our daughter's in Utah (and visiting our amazing grandkids in Utah) was a quick but fun trip. I had started this project quite some time ago and at the Spokane quilt show I found the Pacific Rim Quilts booth. It reminded me of this quilt and I went to a friend's to sew one afternoon and took this project. It is now completely appliqued since my husband did most of the driving on our trip. I can't wait to quilt it... someday...

In July I was in McCall, ID and purchased some lovely fabric from the Jingle line at Huckleberry Patches quilt shop. I love the aqua and red! I was there in September and bought background and border along with a pattern I found pictured below. I added a couple pieces from the Daysail line in the stash too.
Snippets pattern I found that fit the fabrics perfectly! I love the classic look of this, although I may get tired of triangles! It will be a perfect retreat project in November.
