What I did at RETREAT

 On a shop hop with my Bee friends we saw a Shoo Fly Halloween quilt.  
I had all this leftover Halloween fabric, found a great white with lime green polka dot fabric for the background, and got these blocks done during the retreat.  HOWEVER, do you notice how bland and washed out the 2 bottom right blocks look?  Yea, me too.  So I will be making a couple more blocks and adding a border or 2.
Also, notice the tiny square in the upper left corner?  I think if I add little black connecting corner triangle to 
each corner of the blocks it will add a nice dimension to the top.
 This is the start of the Bricks and Stepping Stones quilt.  I got all 112 blocks done and started putting them into 4's.  This is only a few of them, just so you can see I was busy sewing and not just laughing and eating!
 I got a little carried away cutting tho.  I think there are probably 5 more quilts to be made from this pile.
And here I have loads of 3 inch and 2 1/2 inch blocks ready for a project or maybe more.

There you have it.....................2 days of fun!
Can't wait til the next one.
Thanks again, Suzanne, for a great retreat.

Happy Quilting!                         Lynda
