Little Miss Sunshine
I’m just popping in to show you Little Miss Sunshine, my little quilt made for the Project Quilting challenge. The past few weeks have been overcast gray days here in my little corner of Minnesota, so when I saw that the challenge colors were yellow and gray, I thought it might be fun to play with my sunshine yellow and gray scraps.
Most of the fabrics are scraps, except for the print, which was a fat quarter. This little mini quilt measures 10.5″ x 23″. I quilted it with a simple straight line stitch, and machine stitched the binding.
This pattern is one of my favorites to make; it makes a perfect little mini to tuck on a counter, or give as a gift. You can see my other quilts using this design here and here. Using the curved templates from Jen Carlton Bailly, as well as her Turbine design, this quilt goes together very quickly.
Now I just need to find a place to display Little Miss Sunshine. If I can’t find sunshine outdoors, I’ll have to find it indoors with this little quilt.
What about you? Are you joining in on the Project Quilting challenge?

I like all three of the minis you made with the templates. And a gal definitely needs sunshine on a cloudy day!

Great job with that. I was very tempted to join in, but really want to get the Snowflakes finished.

Super cute runner! Love the colors — sunshine always brings a smile to my face!

I love gray with almost anything, and the yellow is perfect for dreary winter. I have a piece of Angela Walters fabric that would almost match your pattern, and it’s in gray and yellow! I’m having a look at this challenge, but I’ve already broken my vow not to join any QALs this year several times. 😀

That is a fun mini quilt! You are doing amazing things with curves these days! And yellow is fun to sew with – perfect for the dark winter days. I did participate in Project Quilting a couple years ago, but kind of lost track of it. I’ll have to go check out what’s happening there!

What a cheerful little quilt. Love the print and the quilting compliments the quilt.

Cute.cute.cute! And the perfect name as well – we can all use a lot more sunshine in our lives. I was actually in sunshine for about 10 minutes at work today. It felt nice but it’s already overcast again. Tis the season for that, though. ~smile~ Roseanne

Great color combination and timely given the colors of the year for 2021!

Well that was a cute and quick project! So many fun groups and challenges starting now–part of me wants to join in a lot of things and another part of me wants to just sit back and let the year roll.

I like your sunshine table topper! Sometimes at this time of year, it’s the ONLY way we can see sunshine!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂

What a great sunny little project. I just saw it now. Been a little distracted today
Quilting is in my Blood
Yellow and grey is one of my favorite color combinations. This is a wonderful table topper!
Danette
Very nice! I am hoping to finish a mug rug for the challenge. Those curved 3.5″ templates look great to use.
Sandra Walker
Ooh! That’s so cute! It’s been so grey here too, but today we had the sun peek out for about an hour or so… I have to start mine (my pink playing has been obsessive) but I doodled my sketch and I’m super-excited to make it and play some more this week!

What a great pop of sunshine for the dull and dreary MN winter days!
Kristie Jarchow
Great little pattern.

Adorable little quilt. I also did a Challenge project, and love the two Colors of the Year.
Tami Draxler
Very cute! That looks like a great template set. Curves are on my “to learn” list!
Sharon
Little Miss Sunshine fits the bill! Those look like great templates. I’ve not heard of them, but do have other templates for curved piecing.
