Red face You are the SUNSHINE of my LIFE!

I wanted to make a quilt for my SIL and asked her favorite color and to my surprise she said Yellow! Of all colors I dislike it is yellow Well I did some hunting around and have made several panel quilts when I came upon this Sunny Blossoms fabric panel and accompanying fabric and thought it was perfect! The little sayings on the panel were perfect, she is very gentle and giving - a school teacher and this fit her perfectly!

Then i found some wonderful minky for the back. Sad to say she has moved from CA to NC but when I showed it to her (before LAQ) before she left and I hope she loves it even more after I bind it and send off to NC. I love the sunflowers in the quilting, much to my surprise this is one of my favorite creations!

I know it was a funny place to take pictures but it had rained all night and this was the only sunny spot outside I could take the pics- wanted them to come out as colorful as possible!

For someone who doesn't like yellow, you've done a really great job! My DD would love it, too. She's really into blue and yellow and sunflowers.

You did a fine job with this quilt....and I am not fond of yellow either, except as an accent.
