I once tied 5 quilts while camping in the Mountins of Utah! I had to pick out pine needles from the batting before I put the top on because they kept falling onto it. When it started to sprinkle, I had to think of where I was going to put the one I was working on, because I knew it wouldn't fit in my camp trailer! Luckily I was tying the quilts, so I put my speed on and got it small enough to fit under the awning when it did finally start to rain!
I'm blasting out my quilting room, and organizing so I can shop my stuff to plan and complete some fun projects this summer! I'd love to add this cute quilt to my list!
