Last weekend, a few of us (8) from my guild were able to go to Stella Niagara for our spring retreat. The accomodations are wonderful as everyone has their own tiny bedroom and they feed us. We have a huge workroom and the surroundings, between Lewiston and Youngstown, NY on the Niagara River is unparalled. It was so wonderful to eat meals together and just laugh. Don't judge- we followed all the precautions- masks and all the nine yards. Our meals were all put in individual containers and placed in the frig or warming oven for us to take. They did an excellent job in difficult circumstances.
But the best was I finished tops. I had done prep in putting together blocks clipped for webbing and assembly. I finished tops that will become comfort quilts. Now I need to find a deal on backings. I make my comfort quilts at least 70" long because I think they need to cover you if you are laying down. Most of mine are a bit longer.

I did not have border fabric and it needs them as it is only 40 x 60.
