so ... i'm sitting around the other day waiting for the plumber. i just knew it was going to cost me a fortune to have my water heater fixed. (the lemons) i'm missing almost a whole day of work (the lemonade :lol: ).

i was either bored or frustrated by my UFOs (lemons) and i have a huge stash calling to me (the lemonade).

so i made this.

I'll take a glass!!!! Wow that looks yummy!!! Beautiful!

I love those colors!! I got them at Walmart and did a quilt block when they used to have their contests for a quilt block. They quit doing it about 3 yrs ago and not every store did it. I found out about it when I was in Florida visiting my sister and then came home to MD and inquired at the stores around here. I won the contest too!! Now what I am doing is making a baby quilt out of the block that I designed. Yep, it is another UFO that I want to get done.

Wow That quilt really pops. I really like your colors that you used. Thanks for sharing.

LOVE THE COLORS!!!
Pass the lemonade!

I didn't realize it til just now but I used some of that same purple fabric in my DGD's quilt! When I bought that I didn't see the other colors there, but I bet they were there, I just had purple on the brain that day.

:D What a riot!! Gorgeous!! It's a wake 'em up kind of quilt!

Would the plumber take in in barter?

I've been meaning to ask my farrier if he could use a quilt as a gift for his wife in exchange for hoof trims.... :roll:

WOW! Those colors really pop!! Love it. :D :D

thanks for the compliments. :P

in addition to the colors in the quilt, i have that fabric in two shades of blue. i think i have at least one yard left of each color if anybody wants to buy or swap for it.

Great story! :lol: :lol: Great quilt! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful, Patrice! I can identify with you. Waiting for a repariman all day is the pits......(like they don't think we have anything else to do......) But, your quilt makes the wait worthwhile----the yellow is just so striking......

I love the quilt and the colors!

it looks very cheerful, I can see a baby lying on it trying to pick up the bubbles!

Love the quilt! The colors are so vibrant. I have the green and purple, put them in my rag quilt.

tha'ts beatuiful. my mom would love it! she has clothing in those colors! :shock:

Thats so dazzling - love it!! :) :)

Very very nice. I really like it!

Your quilt made me break into a big smile :D and then I reached for my sunglasses before I looked again! 8) I love how bright and cheery it is :D 8) :D

WOW! I LOVE THIS! I'll take a glass, too! lol

Love the quilt, love the story and love the name! :D

Oh, it's awesome :)

If I slept under that quilt at night I think I could give up coffee forever! What a joy to look at--and I love the name!

WOW, I love the colors. Makes me think of Spring!

Now thats how to wait for the repairman! Hope your fabric $$$ didn't suffer due to the cost of the repair...you must be needing to replace that fabric you used for this quilt. and quickly!!!

I love the quilt, bright and cheery..love the name too!

Wow! What a lollipop forest of color this is. I can almost "taste" the sweet and tart at the same time. I hope it's for a baby, they love bright colors!!

Oh, ok....I read "the rest of the story" (thank you there, Paul Harvey) first...and now I understand.
I think I like your version better, anyway!

Thi version does look more like pipes going through walls, but they both are eye-popping.

Love the colors!

That is one happy quilt! Nice workmanship! 8)

hey barn, you might be pleasantly surprised. i have been known to barter my services in exchange for someone else's services. maybe his wife will have a birthday, or they might have a grandbaby.
i love the barter system.
