One more day until retreat

I'm really looking forward to our retreat this weekend. Although I am not spending the night, I plan to take advantage of as much of each day as possible to try and get something accomplished. I'm not sure what that 'something' will be, though! I prepared a bunch of the drunkard's path blocks - enough to keep me busy all weekend - but have been thinking that I should take along my wool applique project in case I need a diversion. I finished prepping block two last night. I'm getting so far behind - I think I received the 7th one yesterday! Then I started thinking that I would really love to start working on the Turning Leaves quilt. I've been wanting to make that one forever! I can't decide what colorway to use, though. I'd like to make it bright - I'm not ready to do another fall colors quilt again, although now that I think about it, it might make a nice wall hanging to accompany my Autumn Jewels. I'd love to do blues and greens, but I am afraid that it wouldn't have enough color to really "pop". Decisions, decisions!

I need to do a little shopping tonight anyway - my gift certificate is waiting for me at The Quilted Fox, and tonight will be my only opportunity to use my Jackman's coupon. Perhaps something will catch my eye, and I can add another UFO to my list!
