Quilt Retreat Ready

The opening lyrics of John Denver's song, "Leavin' on a jet plane" are running in my mind...

All my bags are packed, and I'm ready to go... Well... almost.


I've made my list and I have my fabric cut... for two quilts.  LOL!  I couldn't decide which one I wanted to make more.  So, I cut both.  The cutting instructions indicate it is pretty basic.  The focal prints are 10-inch blocks (finished) and only 24 squares of contrasting fabrics are needed.  The throw quilt will finish at 60-ish inches square.  Make the half-square triangles and then join them together to surround the large blocks.  For this reason, I have not marked my HST. (I did not race through the last retreat quilt, but I certainly was not talking as much as everyone else - I was the new kid on the block and only knew two other quilters.)

It was alluded to the fact that I was an overachiever the last time I went since I was the only one that finished a quilt top.  I may certainly be considered an overachiever again if I actually get two tops finished.


Here's my list... 

What am I missing?
What else do I need?

Leave a comment... I welcome input from those that have participated in quilt retreats than me.

Keep Piecing,
