This past summer we headed up to Montana for my brothers wedding. On the way we went to Seattle to play and to help with some of the last minute preparations. I do not know if we were helpful but we had a great time. In planning our vacation we had to decide how much time to spend in Seattle and Montana. We should have decided to spend more time in Montana. There was so much to do, we will just have to go back someday. We went to pig races, saw a ole time car show and wandered around the shops in Red Lodge.
I had some time one morning and found a little quilt shop in Washoe, MT. After more than an hour I had stimulated the economy and was coming home with a great project. BFF in the quilting book Four Patch Frolic. A larger version, probably queen size, was hanging up in the shop. I purchased all the fabrics for the top of my quilt per the directions. I will have to choose a blue and a yellow fabric for a larger quilt. The colors remind me of the drive we took over the Beartooth Pass. Still plenty of snow in July.
I didn't get started on this quilt, that I now call my 'Montana Quilt', till just recently. It went together easily. Fabric really change how a quilt looks. I know I am stating the obvious but when I got home and was looking through the pattern book I couldn't find the pattern and began to panic. Then I laughed...it was right there.
I didn't realize it but I have purchased fabric everywhere I have gone. It is a nice reminder of fun times.
Happy Sunday
