In the Beginning

I know I should have waited until I have the blocks stitched together, but I couldn't wait to show them to you. I first saw this pattern on Facebook and hunted it down through Pinterest.  The pattern is called Radiant Suns  from Cara Gulati for Doodle Press. I purchased the pattern and the acrylic templates.  The blocks            (approximately 10 inches) have five pieces and are easy to stitch without tucks.

I love the blocks and I know the quilt will be smashing!  The blocks have color and movement and life.  I can hardly wait to finish! 

Just a Corner

This is just a small corner of the Wonder Quilt that will be unveiled later this year at a meeting of the Wednesday Embroidery Group.  The challenge this year was to make an embroidery quilt and Sweet Pea has the design that I chose to make. The quilt is mostly applique and I used batiks from my stash for the applique.  The background is grunge grey.  I worked hard to get it finished because my challenge quilt last year was unquilted and not finished.
