Then I pulled out these blue HSTs and randomly sewed them together for the center of this neonatal quilt top.
The group leaders had a plan for us to each make a simple applique flower block to make a quilt for Kettunen Center as a gift from us. [Not until next year, though.]
Here's the block I made and a line-up of others from the first day.
Lastly that day I got out the UFO of the month and managed to get the necessary borders attached [one quarter shown in the photo], and then I used the remainder of the plaids to make a patchwork backing large enough to exceed the top.
More on the retreat tomorrow!
As for the Monday Design wall...it is just as it was last week, a scrap bargello that needs borders.

I've been to choir retreats and Women's Conferences but never a place where you get to sew. It sounds like such fun.
I sure like your mixing of hst's throughout the checkerboard, what a blessing this little quilt will be to a wee one.
Your plaid quilt sure has an inviting appeal. I want to work in all plaids one day!
