Being completely unable to resist working with these fabrics, the sunrise block was stitched together this weekend.
The sunrise and sunset blocks side by side. They will be in corners of the quilt when it’s done.
The sky quilt, as I’m now thinking of it, will have the rainbow in the centre, and then a different block in each of the 4 corners. Sunrise and sunset are done. I’m playing with ideas for the other 2 corners — maybe a moon done in a deep blue with a silvery white for one of them. And then maybe a silvery white star on a dark blue background for the other? I’m still very undecided, but it’s fun to think over while I’m doing other things.
The setting pieces for the baby quilt are all printed and the first side is now finished. This is just lots of continuous stitching, so it won’t take long. Well, it won’t take long if I stop playing with the sky quilt!
This week I will finish and mail off the Four Seasons quilt. I was somewhat confused about the mailing date but checked the Four Seasons blog and the date to mail is March 30. Mine will be mailed before then for sure.
We had a glorious weekend. Temperatures of almost 12C and sun. Lots and lots of glorious sun. We even saw some little green shoots in a garden when we were out for a walk. I think spring may finally be on the way.
Smudge is catching up on that lost hour of sleep.

Isn’t it wonderful to have those creative juices flowing? You have my permission to play with your sky quilt as much as you want LOL. If you don’t work on it, you might forget what you want to do and that would be really sad. I’m looking forward to the next stage.Crispy
