I hadn't sewed in 25 years, but got back into quilting a few months ago. This is my second project, I wasn't crazy about the colors in my first quilt. This pattern is "Sunny Days" by Darlene Zimmerman, but I made the blocks 9.5" instead of 6.5" so the fabrics would be seen better (and no tiny triangle squares!). I can't wait to finish it and see it quilted!

This will be 6x6 9" blocks, pieced border

Very pretty colors and I do like them in the bigger size. This is cheerful and bright and is pleasing to the eye. Look forward to seeing this done. Thank you for sharing.

I hope its not another 25 till there is another, this is a very pretty quilt.

I love your fabrics! I also went back to quilting after a 25+yr layoff, it's amazing what you remember. And it's lots more fun this time around, I've left most of the perfectionism compulsion behind!

Can't wait to see it finished.

I was just thinking that, lol. Ditto

It definitely looks like a sunny day. Hope you keep on quilting.

Marvel 03-29-2011 04:08 PM

Love your fabrics and the look of it all.

jzaaboo 03-29-2011 04:12 PM

Thank you! Yes, it's all 30's fabrics. I've got the bug again, I have the fabric for 4 more quilts after this one, so I'll be cranking them out fairly quickly. I stopped sewing after my son was born because he always wanted to sit on my lap when I sewed and I was afraid he'd get hurt. Now the cat does it, some things never change.

rexie 03-29-2011 06:31 PM

I love it!

debcavan 03-29-2011 06:33 PM
