Sunshine On a Cloudy Day

Well, finally finished this project!  I love this quilt.  It is always amazing what you can do with a simple log cabin block that is modified with a four patch block.  The pattern is from American Patchwork & Quilting - October issue - Page 19.  The design is by Char Hopeman.

I had a short jelly roll of the brown & green prints & added a couple of other colors to the brown & green family.  The light strips are white to light tan.  I will definitely use this pattern again!  I will try other block settings.  You can find many log cabin block layouts on the internet or quilt magazines.  It is a versatile block.

I backed the quilt with a cuddle soft flannel and machine quilted it with a stipple free motion pattern.  This is what was used on the sample quilt in the magazine and I liked it, so why not use it myself!

I called the quilt "Sunshine On a Cloudy Day" as it reminds me of walking through the trees and sunshine peaking through to light the path.  I hope you enjoy this quilt pattern as much as I do.

Early morning light is not the best for taking photos

This is where the 320 four patch units went!

I hope you all have a wonderful Autumn!  The pumpkins are ready to pick, the leaves are turning color, and you can see Heavenly Father's hand in nature all around us.  Just take a moment to take it all in.
