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!

i had clicked over to Connecting Threads to see how I, too, could make such a lovely triangle quilt, and then read down to the bottom of your post, to see what template you used, and discovered you were having a giveaway. So, if you're still running it, count me in! I would love a chance to win some of that pretty fabric!
I would love to win the fabrics. Great quilt, beautiful colors, and a helpful son!
I love the colours on the quilt and I would love to try triangles in a quilt. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
