It was a great work with so many things going on. My friend was working on a lovely blue quilt. Look at this lovely block she has put together..
This block will look lovely with a few more to make a great quilt.
Then there was a lady here for her first time. She was making a real scrap quilt. She spent the whole weekend just sewing scraps together. Making them bigger and sewing the blocks together. Until this happened.
One side done
A bit more added.
Then WOW. LOOK AT THIS. IT IS HUGE...
Doesn’t it look great. Now I know I have to get mine out of the box and make some progress on it. It hasn’t seen light for 8 years... Maybe next years retreat I can take it and show her my progress..

That is an amazing scrap quilt!
That sounds like a great goal, Jo. Her scrappy quilt is so fun! It is sad when we realize we have UFOs eight years back, but they can come out of darkness, see the light of day, and become finishes.
Wow what an achievement over a weekend. Looks great.
The blue block is amazing and that scrap quilt is something else! Wonderful way to use up scraps.
What a great quilt to use up scraps. You sound like you had a fabulous retreat.
