As I posted recently, I attended a sewing/quilting retreat. I finished the retreat’s Braid In A Day quilt top the day after the retreat, two days total.
Braid quilt top in THREE days
I liked the pattern so much, I made another one . . . in three days; four if you count the day to piece together the quilt backing. I’m pretty sure that having each quilt top take longer to complete than the previous one is not what the Quilt In A Day people had in mind.
Backside, serged
I like serging the quilt top instead of sewing. Not all patterns will lend themselves to being pieced on a serger, but I’ll be looking through my patterns to pull out the potentials.
Oh, good. Yet another subset of patterns to collect and put in a separate pile, along with all the other project piles.
It's a long story ... 
I like these colors. In the “cool” range.
Lovely colors, and I like the braided look – it’s not something you see on too many quilts and makes it stand out.
Thank you! Fortunately a friend helped me choose the lavender fabric for the large sashing. Not too bright, not too subdued, just right.
