Last month I attended a quilt retreat hosted by Cherished Pieces and had such a wonderful time sewing my little heart out. Of course I brought along many projects to work on, but what did I actually do?!
I started a new project! *snort* Of course I did!
Here is my work surface after I just dove right into cutting and piecing little squares to make a double four patch quilt.
In my own defence, Cynthia (of Cherished Pieces) gave all the retreaters a scrappy quilt book called Sew Charming (by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene) and a Fable charm pack (by Riley Blake). What's a quilter to do but start a new project immediately?!?!
I am very happy with the green diagonal chains made from 1" squares (finishing .5" in the quilt). And I love the hidden animals in some of the neutral prints. I spy... some cats, a bird, a rabbit, and part of a squirrel and a swan.
Does it need borders? And if so, what colour? Borders will need to be pieced because I do not have yardage of this fabric line.
Oh and also, I notice one renegade mini four patch block that will need to be sorted out. There's always at least one in every quilt that needs extra attention!
Linking up to Design Wall Monday over at Judy's

Great project. I like the greens you have laid out for a border. Perhaps the white with the pink print could be a second outer border.
That looks like so much fun, Kathy! I love the sweet colors. Of course you had to make it!
Very pretty! Retreats are so much fun.
Pure cuteness!!! Have a great week, Kathy
Your mini quilt is fabulous!
