Quilt retreat project

I got invited to join a fantastic group of women for a retreat weekend. As most of them were long time and VERY accomplished quilters, I was more than a bit intimidated and overwhelmed by the invitation. After the initial few minutes at our hotel, I knew that I had found a home with the "Quilting Cougars". They were warm, fun, funny, mentoring....I learned a lot that weekend as they were more than willing to share with a newbie. I put this strip quilt together from start to finish that weekend. It now lives on the bed in my son's room.
