Liberated Patches of Sunshine...

 Ever since I saw the Sunny Day quilts in the making on various blogs, I knew I wanted to make one as well.  I also tried my hand at sewing some liberated blocks several months ago.  I really need to practice the technique more so I can get some good looking blocks, but in the meantime, I am sewing them for the center in my blocks...I should get the rythym of things by the time I hit 30 blocks...

 I got some wonderful bright solid fat quarters from Connecting Threads for a song on one of their sales...thought I would give them a try...the fat quarters have a real silk like feel to them and I think it will be really fun to utilize all the colors--there are 24 of them...

For six of the 30 blocks, I am embroidering little bluebirds and then will build the block around them for a touch of whimsy....I have the picture in my mind--let's see how it translates to the overall quilt...I'm thinking of calling the quilt patchy sunshine...you can find the pattern here.
