Meet "Betty Dear" - Sunny Skies pattern is finished!

One of the classes that I had the honor of taking this past June at the Panguitch Quilt Walk was one given by Jenny Doan of the Missouri Star Quilt Company.  The pattern is called "Sunny Skies" & was designed by Jenny Doan's daughter Natalie.

I first saw this pattern on one of Jenny Doan's tutorials.  A new tutorial is put out on Youtube every Friday.  Absolutely adore her patterns & easy ways to put a quilt together quickly.

The print fabric is called "Betty Dear" from the Darlene Zimmerman Complete Collection.  The yellow, red & blue polka dot fabric is from the Classic Dot collection from Connecting Threads.com.

Machine quilted with navy colored thread in a floopy flower pattern.  I love it!

I named the quilt "Dear Betty" in honor of the Darlene Zimmerman fabric.  It was fun to use and I even have enough blocks left over to design a secondary quilt (which is already being created).  Can't wait to share that one.  I have already named the second quilt.  Stay tuned to see what unveils.

Even the label is a left over piece of fabric from the quilt

Of course I had to add a strip of red to the backing.  Who wants a plain old backing!
