It has finally stopped raining here along the Gulf Coast and we have had three nice days in a row! Woo Hoo! That must mean it is Spring. This lovely dogwood is in my neighbor's front yard. I love dogwoods when they are in bloom.
The quilt and sweater set made over $100 last year.
This year, I was looking for an easy pattern, as I didn't have much time. I had one Hoopla charm pack and a bit of another, along with a bit of yardage. Luckily, my LQS still has some Hoopla because after I got the quilt made, I didn't have enough fabric to bind it.
Pinwheels are easy. But apparently not for me. Thursday night, I must have been more tired than I thought because I sewed the wrong end of every block. They looked like deformed hourglass blocks. I actually thought it might be fun to use them, but then the rows didn't go together right and I decided to take it apart - all apart - and go with my original plan.
Once I got the blocks together correctly, the quilt went together very easily. Even the points match up.
I actually love how bright and cheerful this quilt is.
And I really am a sucker for brights on white. There's just something so fresh about that combination that gives me chill bumps. Weird, I know.
Happy spring!
I also love brights on white. The quilt is great and everyone will love it.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are very pretty, I hope this years quilt does even better at the auction.
