Teen, you always do a lovely job and I especially love your choice of colors. Yes, It coordinates beautifully with your siding and front door LOL. I haven't started mine, but did print out the pattern as it went along. I have too many projects in the que right now and am trying to finish a couple UFOs too. Did you use Karen Brown's idea of using left over fabric for the backing? It sure would help in eliminating more in the scrap pile. Love it.

This is one beautiful quilt! The colors lift my spirits. I didn’t realize how much I liked yellow until I used it in Avery’s quilt. Can you tell us what the Aqua color fabric is please? I like that color but scared to order anything online as it may not be what one’s expecting. While you’re at it what / whose yellow, too? Thanks lovely work!

Thank you for the kind comments, everyone!!
Thank you! The teal and multi-orange fabrics are yardage I bought several years ago from a shop in another state. I used every bit of the fabric so I have no salvage info to share. Sorry! I used a multitude of yellow scraps in this quilt, as well…The yardage of yellow on the back was a remnant from a Robert Kaufman collection….It’s a polka dot but that is all the info I have. So sorry…

I usually don't follow Bonnie Hunter to know what her current project is, but this is one I may have to look up. I have a lot of blues and greens, and a ton of neutrals that could work for this pattern. Yours does remind me of springtime, my favorite time of year. Thank you for the inspiration!
