Okay trying to put a picture on the thread... yeah I did it but it's sideways.
Sorry ladies.....just tilt your head!
So this is my second attempt for this quilt. the first set of squares where too "light" for the neutral fabric I choose. So I saved the first 15 for the "postage stamp quilt that is on my "to do list" and made 15 more. Much happier with these. Took me awhile last night to remake all 15 squares...let's just say I was up for the daylight saving time....time change.

That looks great, Barbara! You got some beautiful contrast in there. Sorry you had trouble and had to stay up so late! I think I was up too, working on a crocheted 'lovey'.
This afternoon I finished this "other " quilt-- NOT Arkansas Crossroads. I was just experimenting with 9 patches and snowballs, alternately. Love, love, love these candies!

I will get my Ark Crossroads baby quilt quilted and finished so I can photograph it for our final step (a week from this Friday). Who else is still with us, working on an Ark XRoads?

I am too, just haven't had time. Working on great grand daughter's quilt, finished border today, loaded on the table and quilted, made binding and sewed it on. Now the hand sewing. Doc says to keep working my hand to make it better.....I certainly did today. Now it's the heat and cold time because it feels ouch!!

A quilt retreat sounds great! Have fun. I made the baby quilt size this time and it went together pretty fast. The steps shouldn't take you very long.
