Final Update – Regatta Sew Along

Here’s our last update on the Regatta Quilt sew along.  A summer  ‘last call’ of sorts before we start another new no-pressure sew along with no prizes and no real end date.  The original pattern is from Daniela at Block M Quilts.  Just click on the picture of the quilt directions found in the link and you’ll be able to print out a .pdf.  I have to jump ahead and share that our finished Regatta found itself a home with my sister, Carol.

Not only is anything in blue shades her absolutely favorite thing, but she is also a coldy-cat like me.  I should have known she would enjoy this all along.  Here is a picture of the two of us when I gave it to her on Mother’s Day.  She has always been like a mother to me, as my mom and her were pregnant at the same time.  Her first child and I are only six months apart, and I spent many fun times in their home as a fourth/oldest child of sorts.  Happy Mother’s Day indeed.

Below, I’ve shared a few new photos that our participants have shared on their blog, Facebook, or Instagram.  I was stalking everyone’s website and IG to find them all.  I apologize if I missed yours! Don’t you love seeing such diversity?  Can you pick a favorite?  Or are you like me and love them all?
