Quilt Retreat

Ahh, the quilt retreat. Away from husband, kids and responsibilities for 24 hours. Time to stitch and chitchat with other like-minded woman. Time to work on projects.... Except for the fact that I am one of those people who is much more efficient at home in my own workspace that at a retreat. But that's okay, I expected that. I also didn't take any photos. Just a couple photos of one of the quilts I was working on while there.




While I really love this quilt, I am not sure where to go from here. Add another two rows and make it a twin-size? Add borders and make it a big picnic quilt? Leave it as is, quilt it up and then sell it? Auction it off at our school's fair in May? I guess my problem is that I don't have a specific use in mind right now.

It appears that I am terrible at replying to comments. I do love the comments though and find it interesting to glimpse into your lives that way. Regarding the cake question. It seems most of you make your own cakes, some fancier than others. Way to go!

  1. I love it Alisa! I think you could quilt it and bind it as is and use a picnic blanket and if you want it a bit bigger then but on borders but I think it looks really good without them.
    Your other ideas are good too though! You could try sell it and see how it goes :)

  3. That's such a fun blanket, Alisa! It would make a great picnic blanket, all bright and cheerful. I'm also quite sure if it was put up for sale, there would be someone who would love to buy it. - Linnet

  4. Very fun and colorful. If you are taking a 'vote' then I'd say make it a twin size. If you plan to sell it I think a twin would be more versatile for the buyer.
