Oh, the siren song of quilt alongs! Last year, unlearned in the
hazards of craft blogging, I joined two quilt alongs at the same time:
the Kaleidoscope Quilt Along at Don’t Call Me Betsy and the Warm/Cool Quilt Along at In Color Order. Too late, I learned that there is more to quilt alongs
than sewing: they are rich, social experiences. Unfortunately, I had
neither the time nor the energy last year to fully participate in either quilt
along that I joined. I managed to complete my Kitty Kaleidoscope quilt at the
end of 2011, and finally finished my Sunshiny Day mini quilt this month, eight
months after I started it. Luckily, it was worth the wait.
I pulled a variety of cool solids and warm prints from my scraps and
stash, used a bright gingham print for the back, hand quilted it in white Perle
8 thread and bound it in a yummy lemony solid. It now hangs on the wall of my
sewing nook, where I can enjoy it every day.
