Retreat was a lot of fun, and I got a lot accomplished. Today' post is about two tops that were partially started and are now finished flimsies. I'll write more about the rest of the retreat another time.
First up, this LCT Variation top. (sorry for the moire effect in the photo; the navy and white print is a small geometric.)
The other finish is this top using flying geese blocks made of Kaffe prints with black and white sky. This is actually about plan D, earlier ideas didn't work out.
Again, the blocks were already made.
I had a Kaffe jelly roll from someone's destashing sale and I had hoped to use it for sashing, but the prints in it didn't work with the ones in the geese. Thank goodness for the little shop at the retreat ranch, where I found the sashing fabric that worked. Fortunately there were two strips in the jelly roll of the green print that worked for the corner stones.
More about this retreat in another post, including what the other girls were working on.

Love that top quilt! I am going to have to make that one. It looks hard but it’s so simple! Love the second one too! I have a Kaffe jelly roll and scraps to make that one! Thanks for the ideas Jan.
ReplyDeleteYay for Plan D. It's amazing how frequently our quilt plans go in different directions than first imagined!!
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts turned out beautifully. Looks like you had a very productive retreat.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use stripped fabric in that first quilt, it makes quite a statement.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - two stunners!!! Love how that small print waves at you!
