This week I have been dreaming about sunshine. We have had sunshine here in Michigan, but it has been accompanied by temperatures as low as -15 F. So, I gathered some pink, yellow, orange and red from the stash. I didn't have time to actually get to the cutting and sewing part till yesterday.
So, my sunshine grouping became this.
You may notice some fabrics in the block that were not in the inspiration gathering. These are courtesy of my friend Betsy, I joined her for sewing time and she generously found some sunshine in her stash to contribute.
Next step, quilt this and make it up as a pillow.
This is a type of sunshine that says summer and hot to me, what a nice break. For contrast here is what the sunrise looks like for me now. A different quality indeed, but beautiful in it's own way. I have been noticing a lot of these black/white gray skies backed with red and pink lately. Another theme, for another time.
Denise - While I like the tropical sunshine colors, the winter sunrise has its own beauty. I went to Nancy's writing class tonight. The topic was snow, but the recent pink sunrises were mentioned by a couple of people present. I can't wait to see what you do with that theme!
