Weekend Sewing, Sunkissed & Sunny Happy Skies

I have a few more of my Sunkissed hourglass quilt blocks sewn. I'm afraid I miscalculated, and may have to make a few more rows.


 The backing also arrived

I did set this project aside for the moment. I want to get a few baby quilts made. I purchased a fat quarter bundle a long time ago of Sunny Happy Skies/Bella Blvd for Riley Blake. It has 3 colorways, so I decided to do 3 baby quilts out of this stack. I pulled all the blues and chose a simple brick quilt. The fabrics in the blue colorway are all so similar that I had to add some green and orange to give it a bit of help. The orange in the picture is not nearly as loud as it appears here. I am waiting on thread so I can get this quilted up.

For the pink colorway, I am doing a plus quilt. I've really been wanting to make a plus quilt, so I thought a baby one was a good idea. It's all cut and after quite awhile of trying to get the layout right, I have a few rows sewn. I think this will be a really cute quilt.
I haven't decided what pattern to use for the yellow yet, any suggestions?
Have a great week everyone, happy sewing!

  1. I love the sunkissed hour glass quilt you are making. It is going to be so pretty the way you have it arranged. Would like to see it when you get it finished. New follower from Blackberry Winter Crafts. Come by for a visit.
