Well, good news, ladies! My DH got the okay for the transfer in the company! It looks like we will be moving in June. Whew, I've got a lot to organize before. I'm going to try to get my Summertime quilt done too, so it can grace the sofa in our new house.

So I have put together the top for my Summertime Quilt! I ended up making all the blocks 12.5 inches with a colorful border. I went with a white-on-white sashing to calm down the blocks. I had a hard time deciding what should be the small cornerstone squares. I didn't want to bring in a color that would take over the quilt and I thought random colors could get too busy. I had some fun summer flip flop with sunglasses fabric that originally seemed to be a bad busy idea. But I liked it! I thought the paler yellow with touches of color tied it all together. I ended up making six of the blocks -- my sunshine was with help from Teen (thanks again!). I really wanted a flower on the quilt so I made the one in the middle.
Again, thank you for all the support and fun blocks along the way.

Irishmom...that turned out beautiful! You did a great job on the sunshine block, too! And, you are so welcome! Each block is adorbAle and the colors are all so balanced throughout. Outstanding job!

I think it looks great with the yellow print corner stones and then bordered with colors that you like but don’t distract from a very active quilt with all the different blocks. Good work. I haven’t played much yet with my blocks.
Does anyone know where I can find the appliqué design of the tent with the fire roasting marshmallows block? I would like to make one for my quilt.
Looking forward to seeing more settings.
