I took a little trip a while back to Lanesboro, MN for a quilt retreat with Cheri, Amy and Judy. Judy has a great posting about the retreat on her blog.I had this quilt cut out for quite a while, so it was on my UFO list. The pattern is called Weather Vane.
I made the half square triangle squares before I left. That way I didn't need to rip off the triangle paper or trim dog ears before I could start sewing.
By the end of the retreat, I was able to get all my blocks made and pieced the strips for the border blocks. It took me about a week to finish the quilt, partially because I was a little burned out.
I think it turned out great. I'm going to put it in the non-judged portion of the Minnesota Quilters Show in June. I need a name for it.
Any ideas?

It turned out very pretty, Nathan. Nice contrast in colors and I really like Glad's pattern too.
you should try to incorporate farm into the the title somehow, because the colors are reminiscent of the patchwork look of the fields of a farm.
I agree with Martha. Besides, you are a farmer, aren't you??
Love the quilt! My daughter saw it and said "I want it!" I love the fabrics you chose and the pattern is lovely!
