Sometimes you just hit that fabric sale and think to yourself "yes, I need to buy 3 layer cakes & 2 bolts of fabric to go with it". I had made the "Sunnyside" quilt last month & this month I used all of the remaining 2 bolts & the rest of 2 layer cakes. I did break into the 3rd layer cake in order to piece the backing to make it big enough for this new quilt which I called "Notes from Sunnyside". The fabric is the Sunnyside line by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics which I purchased from The Sunflower Quilt Company
I wanted to design something a bit different for this quilt so I used a basic "envelope" block and added sashings & corner stones to the block itself. Then I decided I was going to offset the rows for a little visual movement. I really like the way it turned out. The quilt ended up being approximately 84" x 95". I machine quilted it with a design called "Denise's Dragonflies" from Urban Elementz. I used Glide thread in the color Blueberry. I really like the color on the navy fabric.
I also ended up making a pillowcase to store the quilt in. I usually make pillowcases for the quilts as when I sell the quilt it makes a nice "bag" to take it home in. Did I mention I do NOT like to wrap things! Pillowcases are my go-to gift bags.
I hope you are finding your joy on your journey. Remember to celebrate Easter this month (& throughout the year) and the greatest gift we have been given, our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you all and thank you for taking time to follow my little blog.
