    Default Farms and Sunflowers -- A Simple Quilt

    I cut, Mom pieced, my sister did the layout, I quilted and did the binding. This quilt features farmyard scenes and sunflowers. The farmyard scenes were fussy cut, and the sunflowers and check pieces were from remnants. The finished quilt is about 48" x 62".

    The pattern is free from Shannon Studio Cuddle Collection (shannonfabrics.com) and is called "Menagerie." It was featured in an older issue of Fons and Porter. Since I was dealing with remnants, my selection and arrangement of the fabrics varies from the original pattern.

    I liked the pattern because of its simplicity. It could be adapted to a variety of focus fabrics and can easily be modified or enlarged.

    With the finish of this quilt, we have an early entry ready for the 2016 Bible Camp quilt auction. The picture shows a coordinating pillow case on the lower right side.
