March 2011 Group

We had fun on Monday! We spent quite a bit of time showing each other's Block Robin blocks. Really fun!

Betsy also showed a slide show of a stunning quilt show that was happening in New York at the time. It was called Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts. An amazing show of 651 red and white quilts collected by one woman - and shown all together for her 80th birthday. The largest quilt show ever held in New York. You can see people's photos of the show here on Flickr, and a video on Martha Stewart's website.

Jennifer's Heirloom Blocks by CBCCQ
Jennifer's Heirloom Blocks
Jennifer was given these blocks by her mother - they were made by her grandmother. Lovely 30's Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks. Most ready to put together! Lorraine helped sort them. :-)

Diana's Mini Quilts
Diana made these cute minis - 1 from a pattern, and 3 of her own design. And found the cute quilt hangar while at Women's Retreat in Leavenworth. Such mini stippling - amazing! Nice job!
