It looks like a bargello quilt top. :)<br /><br />Also, this past weekend was my quild's quilt retreat. I precut over 1,000 2" squares and asked the 70 quilters to use them as leaders/enders to make 9 patches. 304 nine-patches were made!! One person was even ambitious and generous enough to start putting them together with 5" squares. I had your Leader's and Ender's book there on display next to the shoeboxes of squares. Still have squares leftover for next time. I'm calling it a great success!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434707665143015636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-15888856707943272352015-10-19T10:27:53.552-04:002015-10-19T10:27:53.552-04:00OH how wonderful to sleep under one of your beauti...OH how wonderful to sleep under one of your beautiful quilts!!

I was so surprised to find it on my bed. I was even more surprised when the "sparkling" brownies a la mode were delivered to Ramona and I. Funny that we have the same birth date and shared the same room...had to be. A wonderful Quilt Camp with you, Carol and Dan. Reunited with old friends and made new ones. You are such a blessing to us all, quilters and non-quilters alike. Thank you for your generosity, patience, and humor. We love to have you in Maine...next time I hope it is a little warmer! lololFayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931055594983354586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-14566648885023238702015-10-18T18:38:38.206-04:002015-10-18T18:38:38.206-04:00Loved seeing all the quilts!

I am sure they loved it, for the extra wamth as well as the awesomeness. I am sure it will be one of their favorite things of their quilt camp retreat.

I don't know if you've addressed this before but thought based on your comments about your quilts and creases that you might be interested. The woman that lives next door to my mother in Florida has about 40 quilts that she has made over the years, most hand pieced and quilted. She actually put herself thru college by selling quilts. She showed me some of them when I was visiting my mother a couple of years ago. I noticed that she was folding them the traditional way and told her that the creases would set less if she folded them on the diagonal. We folded several and she spent some time folding the rest. She found that in addition to minimizing the creases that they take up less space. She was very happy with that result and I was wondering if you ever tried this?Jobrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432735587731625475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45330570654321671452015-10-18T09:22:59.723-04:002015-10-18T09:22:59.723-04:00What a 'cool' idea..and thanks for sharing...What a 'cool' idea..and thanks for sharing the photos with us.
