Am I blue?

July's colour for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is blue. I just finished this blue bento box for my brother. It is a lap size quilt approximately 45" square. It was started at a workshop in May so it did not take long to complete.
As to what else I have been doing. I am able to cross an event off my bucket list. I went on a bus trip with the Kincardine Sunset Quilt Guild to the Vermont Quilt Festival. No it was not a bus trip on my list, it was the Vermont Festival. The timing has always been an issue. So this year I made it. We had a great trip with stops at Keepsake Quilting in New Hampshire and an overnight stay and dinner in Scholarie New York,  where I met blogger Sharon Vrooman of Vrooman's Quilts. Her Mom gave an after dinner trunk show that was wonderful. Sharon did a blog post on our visit. Piecefully, Joanne

  4. Nice Bento Box quilt and nice to get it finished. I've heard of this festival a couple of times now, it might have to go on my bucket list.

  5. Very nice Bento Box quilt. Brother will love it.
    Sounds like you had a good time visiting Sharon, quilt festival and Keepsake Quilting in New Hampshire. I visited the shop once while on vacation a few years ago. That was fun!

  8. Sounds like you had a great time! I missed the festival this year since I moved across the country. I'll have to plan a trip up in June so I can see it again! Love your blue quilt.
