Sew Sunshine

This was a fun quilt to make. It is a free pattern on the Tilda website. I wanted to do an applique quilt for a long time and I do love a dresden.  I did a simple diamond quilting over the top of applique. I was not sure how hard it would be to quilt myself. It wasn't! I love everything about this one. The pattern the colors how the blocks came together. So scrappy and fun. Perfect to finish for the county fair. So glad I did. I received Judges choice and a blue! I made this quilt bigger but was not sure how much bigger so I had some extra blocks I put on the back.  66"x 76" approx. My other 2 entries I have posted about before.

                                                                                 I wanted to finish some UFO's for the fair this year. Deadline is motivation. I pulled out this piece that I made as a qal.. The pattern is by Southern Charm Quilts and the qal is  HERE It was such a fun quilt to make and I used tons of colors and scraps to make this. Since the quilt is made in alternate grid style it was fun to put together.  I did a simple diamond style quilting over the blocks. There is some applique, some paper piecing, curves  and regular piecing.  60" x 70"  I got a red on it.
