Today’s post is actually of my design wall! This past weekend I went on a retreat and finished the Allietare blocks — that’s the mystery quilt that Bonnie Hunter presented this past December. These are not all of the blocks, but just the one’s I tossed up on the design wall last night.
When I head to a retreat, I do my best to get up frequently and walk to the ironing board. This results in lots of progress on the leader/ender project, which currently is Tumblers. I have all but 8 rows finished, and those 8 rows just need 3 pieces attached to them. I’ve started sewing the rows together and have 16 sewn together.
It is about 70″ wide and eventually will be 80″ long.
The rest of this month is going to be crazy, so I doubt I’ll do much but repack my bags as I head out to another retreat on the 6th.
See what others are working on over at Patchwork Times.
Multiple retreats sound lovely! Your Alletaire is vibrant and growing tumblers look great. I purposely put my iron out of reach so I must get up and down to use it.
Love, love, love your Alletaire!! Hope you get it to a complete top on your next retreat! I think this one was one of Bonnie’s best mysteries! Of course, I say that every year! LOL!
