I thought maybe some bright colors for summer would be a change from my usual palette ... what was I thinking? One of my daughters might be getting a surprise in the mail this coming week!

Thanks for looking (and sorry about the shock to your eyes!)

Oh, I love it!

Just close your eyes for a few minutes and take another look-now-isn't that better? The colors are wonderful!!! It conveys "summer" just as you'd hoped!

Hey - I think it's good. Personally not my fav colors, but it's very sunshiney and happy looking! The border and sashing tones it down enough to make it just right! I like it!

Beautiful!

laceybritt 05-28-2011 09:26 AM

Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Not too bright at all, will make anyone feel sunny.

feline fanatic 05-28-2011 09:27 AM

I love it. And your handquilting is wonderful. With those orangy sun-shiney colors combined with your wonderful wave quilting in the border it makes me think of a day at the beach!

I like it. Your daughter will be happy to get this surprise. But I know what you mean a out working with a different color palette. I have the same problem.

EskapetheNorm 05-28-2011 09:35 AM

I love it! I love bright yellows and the orange fabrics are the perfect complement. Makes me feel happy. Your daughter will appreciate the "sunshine" that comes in the mail.

THAT is a beautiful quilt! Reminds me of a Creamsicle. =)

Yooper32 05-28-2011 09:41 AM

I don't call that a shock at all. If you are not fond of it, your daughter is sure to love it. I think, if it were me, I would call it "You are My Sunshine".

BeeNana 05-28-2011 09:41 AM

What a lovely surprise that would be.

You just gave me the answer ... since my granddaughter was born I always since the song "You are my Sunshine" to her. The quilt will be on it's way to Willow this coming week. Thank you so much for the insight!
