Taking a care quilt break

P1070593

Both me and the quilt inspector agree – it is time to slow down and take a break from care quilts – and you see, it is not easy to machine quilt when someone is taking a break ON the quilt ;-)

We had a lovely Saturday with May Britt and friends, making care quilts too :-)
We were just 5 persons, but we were very productive.

Bente is making these 2 colourful quilts – give me a feeling of spring and summer :-)

After coming home yesterday I was still in the mood, and finished the binding on these 2 care quilts. They still need to be washed to get the the right soft look and touch.

Before going to bed I made these blocks from one of my strip kits.

- and today I have finished this kit into blocks.
Now I do not have more kits of strips to finish into blocks.

Thanks for hosting us this weekend May Britt – it was great fun!

Now I am ready to do something else for a while, and put the care quilts to the side :-)
