Just this morning I finished up this quilt top...my version of Cheryl's Sunday Morning pattern. I. LOVE. this. quilt. It measures 70"x90".
This is an alternate of the splash quilt (you can see the original here). I sewed this one up as a triple check of the pattern instructions. (That's the danger of making a quilt improv style and THEN writing the pattern. But I'd do it all over again.) It's fun to have the quilt made up in different color ways. I've been a pink and green girl for a long time, so this quilt feels very "me".
And last, but not least, this is my version of Cheryl's Grass quilt. I used my strings to make horizontal sashing strips rather than vertical sashing. I'm calling this one Summertime.
For the back, I used some soft, pretty fabrics from my stash, in keeping with the easy summer feeling. I love how it came together. My friend Marcia was kind enough to let me quilt it on her long arm. It was awesome to start quilting it at 11:30am, and to have the binding on (machine done, of course) and in the washer by 4pm that afternoon. Lickety split!
If you've sewn up anything from the book, we'd love to see your take on our patterns. Please feel free to upload your photos to the Sunday Morning Quilts flickr group!
Love it all!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but your version of Cheryl's quilt is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Summertime quilt! Those colors are my favert! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the one you finished this morning:):) So much color pop going on there! I am bad usually and don't use small scraps which is anything 3" and smaller. I know I am making you cringe right about now. I get lazy about it perhaps,don't know.
ReplyDeleteAnyway have a great Sunday!!
Love them all! I so need to get working on some projects from your book. I've only had it since it's release and I keep looking through it over and over. I need to get my tail moving. :)
ReplyDeleteMore quilts I need to make. All fantastic
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous quilts, but I must say my very favorite is your version of Cheryl's quilt at the top! Love the colors and design and it looks SO cozy and homey!

Hi!! I have ordered your book, and I look forward to see it!! Love the first picture, and earlier today I have collected my low volume fabric..... and I want to start sawing.....AnneK:-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I do own your book after checking it our from the library and realizing that I need to BUY this book! I am currently working on a checkerboard quilt from your book and it's my very first quilt! I am making mine a bit smaller than yours. It's going to be a lap blanket. I am posting my progress on my blog if you are interested. I have three posts so far talking about my progress. Here's a link:

Thanks for the inspiration to start making my very *1st* quilt!
I just can't stop looking at your version of the Sunday Morning quilt. It is fantastic! I would be afraid to use so many different patterns, and at first I wasn't so sure about the low volume look, but it just works on so many levels. Well Done and thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThey all look great! I want to make something from the book as soon as I finish the two quilts I'm working on now. I haven't yet decided which Sunday Morning Quilts design to make!
ReplyDeleteI love all three! It is so much fun to see the alternate versions :)
ReplyDeleteI love the strings in the sashing! I'm going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteI just bought the book yesterday!! Can;t wait to find time to sit and read it from cover to cover..
ReplyDeleteLove both your quilts a lot!!! Now I really need to get back to my Sunday Morning blocks...

All gorgeous as ever :) Maggie xx
ReplyDeletegreat scrap quilts! especially love the first one.
ReplyDeleteYour post and Cheryl's make me want to run to my book and compare them. They are true testaments to your personalities.
ReplyDeleteLove the different versions! Crazy how beautiful they are but how different they can look!
ReplyDeleteWow, you sewed that quilt top together pretty fast. Looks fab! How fun to be able to make each other's quilts, adding your own style. Beautiful!
ReplyDeletejust mailed a quilt to a bride and groom, quilting a graduation quilt and planning another wedding one after our trip to Lancaster for JONAH and fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI;m loving these quilts! Can't decide what to do next!!
The pink and green reminds me of watermelon.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeletePS -- Missing Finish It Friday right now. I finally had a finished quilt to show off!

i just got caught up on reading your blog. that low volume quilt is AMAZING! i first heard "low volume" from you and now i'm seeing it everywhere. i think you are a trend setter, my dear. Flaun and i were talking about you and the retreat when we got together to sew last weekend. all good things. just wanted to let you know if your ears were buzzing. i miss chatting with you. i think we should do it again soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Now you know why I want a longarm!
