Autumn Breeze or Summer Wind?


The star row is on and all four corners are completed too!
I never found the other little HST.
 Like someone said...
it will probably show up on the backside of a pair of pants!




Now i am on to the last row. 
I am adding a colorful row to add some balance to the quilt. 



Here it is with all four rows added to the quilt!
I loved this quilt and learned a lot from it. It certainly helped to 
have Thelma to "hash" things over with. Being able to see how 
hers was coming along
was an added bonus!
I have to say that I hadn't noticed this fabric (High Street) until Ms. Cupcake
showed it to me. It is a beautiful group... and I am sure I have enough leftovers
to make a Schnibble pattern with next!



Here is one more shot... a chance to stand back and look at Summer Wind
and exhale! This was a nice get away and sew along! Thanks for the great idea Thelma!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Here are some other "stars"!
Did I ever show you any photos of my quilt retreat?
Here is a group shot. All 46 of us. I had to bribe them
by withholding lunch until I got a photo!
Seriously, I had to bribe them!  I suppose it was more of a threat...
but I don't think they minded.


 We had a lot of local quilters but we also had women from San Diego to San Francisco and as far away as Alaska, Washington and Idaho join us too. How fun is that?!
I will have to show you some of them hard at work next time!

It is terrific Sinta! What great colors, and isn't a medallion quilt fun to make?

That fabric looks like it was alot of fun to play with

Your quilt is a stunner!

Wow......Lovely quilt. I do like that fabric as well.

Kate said...

It turned out beautifully!

Darlene said...

It's beautiful, Sinta. The fabric is perfect for that quilt.

Cheryl said...

Beautiful quilt Sinta!

Anita said...

Love it! It does have an autumn feel to it, how cool is that :)

Satu said...

It's FABULOUS, Sinta Renee! You inspired me so much (again), that I had to order Carrie's book. And I got it already yesterday;o) Now I just have to find time...

Kris said...

Oh how fun to see the group who got to go to your retreat! Wish I was in that photo!
Love the quilt!

This came out just beautifully! I don't care what the season - I'd keep that one out all the time.

Sherry said...

What a beautiful quilt.

Needled Mom said...

It looks grogeous! That's a great fabric line.

Carol said...

Beautiful Sinta. I love the addition of the pieced border, it really does tie it all together. Look under your sewing machine or by ironing station your that missing flying geese, that's where I've found my missing pieces.

KMSC said...

Your quilt is beautiful,as is Thelma's. It's so interesting how similar but yet different the two quilts look, even after using the same fabric line. Great job!!

Unknown said...

How about "End of Summer"? The colors are beautiful, and are just verging on fall colors...silt a thought...love ur blog, may I follow you?

Thimbleanna said...

That last border is perfect -- it frames your quilt just right! I love that collection -- I know I'm going to regret not getting it, but you have to draw the line somewhere LOL!

Carrie said...

I love your quilt! And I particularly love that even though you used the same fabric, your quilt is different from Cupcake's. It's cool how that happens. Good job!

I'm happy you had a terrific weekend with the girls in your life - even though it was a long car ride. :)

I bet your whole group had a blast at the retreat! I've only gotten to go to ONE which was in September. LOVED getting to sew & sew & sew & sew....

Sarah said...

Gorgeous quilt Sinta! I love your colour placement. Which one are you in the photo? I don't think I've seen a pic of you. My guess is the tall lady near the centre in the second to back row with long dark hair and a blue tshirt? Am I right?
