February Quilt Tops

So while I was busy teaching during February, I also got to take a class and do a little "retreat sewing".  I love getting away and just having big chunks of time to sit and sew with lots of laughs and fun along the way.   So I shared back here, that I planned to take the Vintage Windmill class at the Quilty Friends Winter Quilt retreat  and was using Ombre Fairy Dust .   Well, I am super excited to say that I managed to get a lot of the quilt done in class, and then managed to finish putting the quilt top together while I was at the retreat, ya know during some of that late night sewing :)   And I am just head over heels thrilled with the way it all came together!!!  I just love it!!!  I can't wait to get this one quilted up, it is just such a happy rainbow of piecing goodness!!! 

And then while I was at the Snow Goose Quilt Retreat, I wanted to keep the Ombre Goodness going and pieced together my  Picnic Size Just Blooming Quilt from my Charming Baby Quilts book!!!  I used up every scrap from the Ombre Fairy Dust bundle and just love this happy quilt!!!   I used the warm colors for the flowers and the cool colors for the chain and I just love how it really allows both parts of the  quilt to just shine.   I tell you what, I just love playing with Ombre Fabrics!!!

And I was on such a roll, I decided to take along one an older WIP and see if I could get it done!!!   And guess, what??  I totally finished the quilt top!!  And my, does it feel great to have that out of the box and into a quilt top :)

 This quilt is Sweet Blend  by Laundry Basket Quilts and I just love it!!   I used Amy Ellis's Wanderlust fabric for it and I just love how happy and bright it turned out.   I need to get this one quilted asap, because it is for my daughter who just turned 13 and wants a Tween Bedspread now!!  I think this will work just perfect :)

 So ya, Lots of teaching, and lots of piecing in February :)   And now I have 3 more quilt tops to add to the "to be quilted" pile.   Now the only hard thing will be how to decide which to do first :)

Do you like to take old WIP with you to retreats or do you just work on class projects, or both??
