I'm so glad you are here! I am writing on Friday morning because I am joining some quilty ladies at a retreat. The location is just 40 minutes away and is quite affordable! Just $75 for two nights. This is only my second retreat though they have been holding the retreat weekends at the NRA Whittington Center in Raton, NM for years, twice a year - typically April & November. Because I am scheduling this post, I'll be skipping the weekly feature...
But I just have to share the fact that I finished the two Memory Keeper quilts. I really had not planned on it. I got them quilted and then focused on cutting fabric for the retreat and packing...
But when I had all of that done, I found I still had a few hours... I went on a mission to select binding fabric. I was a bit surprised at what I chose, they I really am pleased with them. I kept thinking a contrasting solid... or even a flanged binding of two colors to match the quilt. Nope!
They did not want that. They did not want that at all! I They chose blue prints... The sunburst print in blue was used as the backing for the Paper Lantern quilt last month. And the darker blue large floral print was from a wedding quilt last year.
The binding process went super-fast because there were some 2-1/2" strips already cut of each fabric. Here are some of their glamor shots...
Keep Piecing!

Your memory quilts turned out beautifully, Melva! I like how they are connected to each other, but not exactly the same. I'm sure your customers are going to love them. Hope you're having a wonderful time at your retreat!
