I stayed up late into the night sewing the binding on. I always do mine by hand. It was a good feeling to work on the finishing touches to a quilt, as always. The quilt was on a tight deadline, so, it went out first thing in the morning. I only had a few minutes to snap a few sneak peeks for you. Here you can see the quilt in the morning light:
The fabrics are from RJR‘s Summer Solstice collection:
I love the sunshiny and cheerful feeling these fabrics convey, emphasized by the gold in the design:
I named the design “Sunshine in my soul” for the moment because the song kept popping in my head as I was working on the quilt. The editorial staff might decide to change the name…
If all things go well, this quilt will be featured in the September 2010 issue of The Quilter:
Until then, these are all the sneak peeks I am able to show you! :) Have a sunshiny day, would you?
Ivory Spring

What machine do you do your quilting on?
So very summery and cheerful and fresh! I can’t wait to see more than a sneak peek!
Perfect name – it’s gorgeous!!!!!!!
Beautiful Wendy. Went out looking at a Bernina 630 today … grat ,achine – with a great price – but maybe! Still working on the BSR. Thought you must be flat out. Hugs
That was meant to be 830! Checked too late :(
Beautiful. It reminds me a little of the new Liberty of London prints at Target…
That is definitely sunshiny! I can see why that song came to mind.
Very beautiful….the colors are bright and cheerful!

So have you taken a liking to triangles lately? :)
Congratulations! Such a beautiful quilt! Did you quilt it by hand?
So pretty! Yep it is definately very ‘sun shiney’.
I’ve loved those fabrics since I first saw them! Particularly the little blue flowers, and what a perfect name for it. I love it.
So Fresh! Don’t forget to post a photo later so we can see all of it – I’m not sure if we can get Quilter in Australia – have to keep an eye out. Beautiful quilting too.
