this is my hello sunshine quilt.
it makes me smile just looking at it!
it feels just like this time of year....
summer is still hanging on,
but it gives a nod to the upcoming fall weather.
I sure love this color/fabric combo!
most of the fabrics are from the new hello sunshine line by Connecting Threads. (LOVE!)
and then I added in a few stash fabrics, just for good measure.
looking at this photo I realize that I forgot to add in the green dot.
(because I used it to bind a different quilt.)
at the last minute I added in a solid navy Kona cotton.
i love how the navy really stands out...
it adds so much depth to the quilt!
size: approximately 45" x 60"
(bought at JoAnn's-hurray for clearance!)
each triangle finishes about 6" tall.
it makes me smile. a lot.
my oldest son is GOOFY and oh-so-helpful, too. :)
i sure love him!

The navy adds that note of depth so competently. My Squares and Stripes had eight black blocks in it and they contributed such an amazing specialness when we look at it now.
Yours is just beautiful. Love the palette.
I love the Hello Sunshine line. So cute!
I would love your fabric bundle.
Love your quilt. The colors. The design. You are so inspiring.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.

If I won one of those bundles, I'd make a quilt out of them and call it, "You are my Sunshine" cause my mom used to sing it to me all the time, and that color scheme screams that song @ me.

Thanks for the chance to win!
You are so right, that quilt just sings end of summer. I love the color combinations.
such a fun quilt and fun fabric!! Thanks for the giveaway.
Love the colors!
I agree with you, the Hello Sunshine collection is so uplifting. Your quilt is beautiful. I tend to gravitate to the old fashioned look in quilts. They remind me of quilts from my childhood.
Oh, that is a wonderfully happy quilt! :)
I have been wanting to get this line from connecting thread... Thanks for the oportunity to win!

Love it Amanda! I need to look for that ruler ~ as this is a pattern I've always wanted to try. Love the fabrics too! Love your eye for color and design. :)
What is it about boys??? :) They reveal the world in such a fun and whimsical manner! :D I agree the navy does make the other colors pop out and sparkle like sunlight.
sowingstitches [at] yahoo [dot] com
Why are triangles so cheerful? They bring a smile every single time. Agreed, the navy gives it a nice touch of depth. Nice work!
Such a pretty quilt! I so wish I could do 1/4 of what you do!!! momto3inil at gmail dot com
Thanks for the giveaway! I love Connecting Threads!
Absolutely beautiful, Amanda! Any tips for sewing triangles? I find myself drawn to them, lately, but don't want to go the tried and true HST route.
FYI, it took me 6 tries (not exaggerating at all) to post my comment. The verifier is VERY hard to read. I wish there were a way to post my comments without going through that process and without you getting spammed.
Oh. My. Goodness. HOW I would delight in winning those. VERY sweet quilt. Thank you for the chance.
Lucy~
I like the colors and the pattern of this quilt!
LOVE those colors! Thank you for including me in the draw.
fingers crossed! treevt80 at yahoo dot com
Love it! I would never get all my corners to match up on a quilt like this though ;)
I love this quilt! You are right, the navy really adds depth. Perfect!
2 things I need -- a triangle quilt and that fabric. Love!!
Lovely fresh colors, fall yet still summer. I'd love a chance to win this.
Love the pattern too
Love the fabric and quilt!
Love this quilt.
Love your quilt ! I buy from Connecting Threads a lot, great service:)
It's amazing how different a fabric collection looks made up. I saw this line from connecting threads and it didn't really speak to me, but WOW! I love your quilt. Perfect design and the additions from your stash really do make it!
Love the sunny colors! Great job!
I recently purchased a triangle ruler on sale at JoAnn's, too, in anticipation of my next quilting project. These fabrics are great.
I am guessing that you used the 60 degree triangle for this quilt. It is awesome. Love the colors and that dark blue really makes it pop.
Love the fabrics!
Love this collection! And you have made it even better with your additions. I had been admiring it already, now I love it!
I absolutely LOVE the new Hello Sunshine fabric!!! I have been drooling over it in my Connecting Threads magazine. Would love to win a bundle!
Love. So simple but sharp looking. Connecting Threads - love their thread. Thanks for the chance!
Oh my heart, that quilt top is beautiful!

Hi Amanda,
I would love to enter your giveaway. Thanks for doing it. I love Connecting Threads fabric. I wished they carried more wide backs, but that is okay too. I have pieced a few backs that turned out really cute. I just like the convenience of a wide back sometimes. I hope you are having a great week.
