I am happy to report that I'm working on a Spring looking quilt. It is white, blue, yellow and blue. I was looking through a magazine and found a quilt that made me think of spring. It had an Option 1 with Option 18s (2 per side with a white strip of fabric in between each one) surrounding it. I have charm squares with coordinating fabric. So instead of Option 1 in the center, I used the charm squares. Then Option 18s, just as the pattern was. The size is an 8" finished block. The original pattern has the finished size at 10". However, the original pattern has white sashing with a color block at the middle where the sashings meet. I decided to use white squares instead. Now I'm wavering to do the sashing because the 8" finish squares would be too large when completed. I planed on 5 colored squares and 5 white squares to be a row. That would be 80" without the border. I am planning on using Option 13 or 14 as a border. Time will tell.

I've been preparing for the Meet The Teachers in Santa Clarita. SCCQG has almost 100 guilds. Being membership and a teacher that is giving a 3 minute talk on what I teach is fun yet hard work. I have collected the quilts I want to show for diversity and made new handouts. I will take them into the printer. I have finally quilted the Sunflower and Rose from the Hot Ribbon I also teach. I'm working on binding them. I'll show them at the SCCQG meeting and at Del Mar's Rusty Barn and San Diego Quilt Show. More on dates etc. later.

Hope all is well with you and yours.
