Blue Ridge Rendezvous

Here's the little quilt we worked on at the Victoria Guild workshop. 

It is fun to learn how to do half-blocks and a zig zag setting. Mine is the blue and pink inspired by an antique quilt of the same colors. I called it Blue Ridge Rendezvous because I pieced it while at Bonnie's first cabin in

the Blue Ridge Mountains.(my first time ever to North Carolina)

Our goal was to try and get one row complete with the half blocks. You can use any 4" finished block with this same setting.

I showed you the pomegranate quilt that we talked about during the lecture, Reruns: Quilts inspired by the Past. Here were a couple more member quilts we shared and talked about.

 That's a lot of knots!

But it makes the back as much fun as the front!

Kathleen and her friend came from Houston and brought a couple of quilts for show and tell.

How darling is this?

 And it has a cheater backing.

 And lovely big stitch!

And this lovely quilt by Minick and Simpson using this French General floral background. It sure gives it a whole different vibe! I love it!

Here is my Instagram feed for the week.

I announced on Facebook that little swap quilts are still winging their way across the world and I'll be on vacation, so we will have a linky party late May.

Have a wonderful weekend!
