    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!

    Really pretty and bright. Yellow is not my favorite either but your quilt is beautiful. Just lovely!

    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.
