Portland Quilt Market Mystery

Whew, made it home. Hectic, fun and wonderful it was at Quilt Market. Instead of flying, I drove, visiting quilt shops along the way. 
Bonners Ferry ID - A Little Comfort Quilting
Coeur d'Alene ID - Bear Paw Quilting & Bernina
Richland WA - Quiltmania
Pasco WA - Janean's Bernina
Kennewick WA - Amelia's Quilt Shop

Quilt market was terrific. Check out some of the quilts in the newest fabrics.

When out for some excellent ribs at Podnah's BBQ. Our waitress was excellent and so fun. After dinner we drove around the neighbourhood to view the rhododendron trees, not shrubs, actual 8 foot trees or higher, in all colours. Purple, red, pink and white. 

Isn't this star block just the cutest? Yes, it is only 6" square. It's for the 2018 Murder Mystery Quilt program. Ah new quilt idea.

  2. Well, mysteries can be pretty contagious, too! Thank you for sharing the pictures, such pretty flowers and quilts. i like that variation on the old pattern. I was trying to mentally flip the blocks and see how they would look set together, but it's a tough one to do that! I do like the block, but I'd make it twelve inches!
