Record time for re-entry

Last month I started a new project with the intention of putting it in the local guild's quilt show in March. It now needs only hand stitching on the back to be done. Done ahead of time and only two months from start to finish - a new record! Wow! All other projects take years!

A three-day retreat in Healdsburg earlier this month really helped.

I had it pieced and pin basted before I went. Just decided what to do and stitched. Keeping the quilting minimal helped too.

Now comes the tough part: what title to give it? Gotta decide by the January 27th deadline for the submittal entry.

  1. You must have been in the "zone" when you made it! I love it!

    1. Thanks, Wanda! I don't know how to quilt it until it's pieced nor know how long the quilting would've taken. So with the deadline in mind, I pieced it together to allow plenty of time for quilting.

  2. You made some great edits and rearrangements on this one. And I know you'll come up with just the right title.

    1. That last arrangements just wouldn't work. So I went back to the first one and added to it.
