My Own Personal Quilting Retreat...part 1

I spent a week at my sister's....babysitting her 3 dogs. I decided it was a good time to work on some UFOs, so I took many projects with me. There wasn't much to do beside feed dogs....take them outside for potty breaks....and sew. 

Most days I got a top put together in a day. This one was from Ricky Tims back in 2017. It was a free pattern every month. There were 20 patterns, but I got bored and stopped at 12. It is 54x70. I had all the blocks finished, so it wasn't any problem to piece them together. Ricky calls it his Legacy quilt.

I had some fabric with old cars on it...it was almost like canvas. i guess it is upholstery fabric. I already had the blocks made. The brown halves are selvages. It is 70x78. Just had to sew the squares together.

For about the last year, Molly Mine embroidery site has been putting out crazy quilt animals and I did them all. These blocks were finished and the sashing and cornerstone pieces were cut out, so I just had to piece them together. It is 52x64.

These red scraps were all cut out and just had to be pieced. I put 25 of them in a row. I had a few rows pieced together already. It is 60x76.

This pattern came from American Patchwork and Quilting, Feb. 2010. Designers are Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle. It is 84x92. They call it Band Together.  I had the bands already pieced, just had to sew all the pieces together.

I might put a border on it before it gets quilted.
