The fabrics for the sunrise block have been picked out, the diamonds printed and some of them already cut. I can’t wait to get this block done! The quilt, which I’ve now started calling the rainbow quilt, is slowly coming together in my mind. The sunset and sunrise blocks will occupy two corners of the top. I haven’t got a definite plan for the other two corners yet, although I’m contemplating a small rainbow block for one of them using split diamonds.
The rainbow quilt has really taken hold of my imagination. Even when working I’m planning it. All I need to find is the right red and right yellow batiks for it. Guess a trip to Sew Sisters is in my future. Hardly what one could call a hardship!
Although this picture is a bit fuzzy, I couldn’t resist posting it. If you click on the picture to see the larger version, you’ll see that Smudge has his tongue sticking out just a bit.
It was Lester’s turn to curl up with a teddy.
I think spring is slowly getting here. The forecast looks like we’re gradually getting into warmer temperatures. What a relief after the winter we’ve had!
Have a great weekend.
