Crazy quilt fan block

I worked with an amazing group of ladies in a round robin. You can see all of the blocks here. When I got mine home I added more bling. Then I prepared it for hanging using Alison Aller's method with foam core. It worked wonderfully, I am so pleased.

Quilt Retreat

I went to an awesome retreat with the Valley of the Sun Quilters. Patrick Lose came and did a trunk show. I bought tons of his amazing satinesque fabric which I then used as the background for my lone star and the background for his Love Blossoms pattern. Here they are. On Love Blossoms I only used one color for all the pieces and then blanket stitched around every piece in white. I love how it turned out!
