Skys the Limit------Quilt Tour 2009

The Tri County quilt tour, Sky's the Limit, is just a month away. All 16 shops are busy finishing up their quilts. We have all made blocks designed by each shop, and incorporated them into a quilt using our own setting and color combinations. When I saw last years quilts I was amazed to see just how different each one was.


My life has been busy, so I have a "stunt sewer" working on my quilt, and I went to see her progress yesterday. I think you will all be pleased with the outcome. I selected a group of

red & white fabrics, and who doesn't love a red and white quilt? The theme "The Sky's the Limit", lent itself to star blocks. All 16 shops designed a 9" star block, and they look wonderful in the red and white color combo. Cleo's sewing skills are beyond amazing, and the blocks look terrific. Now, a little sashing magic and the top will be finished, and then off to the quilter. Every shop's quilt is supposed to be quilted, bound and hanging in their shop by March 1st. I think I will be screeching to the finish line, but it should be done.
