Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Friday Finish Sunny Skies Quilt

What could be more appropriate than a Sunny Skies Quilt on a hot, sunny July day? I started this quilt a couple of years ago and finally put it together earlier this year. I am an avid fan of Women’s World Cup soccer and have watched many of the matches (ALL of USNWT!) while hand stitching binding. This is a fun, easy quilt to make with a jelly roll. Heads up–National Sew A Jelly Roll Day will be September 21 this year. If you would like to make your own Sunny Skies Quilt, there is a tutorial by Megan Pitz of Canoe Ridge Creations on the Missouri Star Quilt Company website here.

Finished Sunny Skies quilt

The jelly roll is Olive’s Flower Market by Lella Boutique from Moda. I used Bella Solids in pfd Bleached and Betty’s Pink in the alternate blocks.

My quilting design is the same edge to edge freehand swirls that I use over and over. I really need to expand my freehand designs.

The backing was a sale fabric I picked up at Hobby Lobby. The colors worked perfectly with the Olive’s Flower Market fabrics.

Sunny Skies would also be a great stashbusting quilt. Pull out that bin of leftover 2-1/2″ squares and start piecing 16 patch blocks. Before you know it, you’ll have enough blocks for a quilt. Here’s hoping we have many, many more days of sunny skies this summer!
