On The Sunny Side


Here's another simple but pretty quilt, just right for scraps in shades of yellow, gray, and white. It didn't take that long to cut the triangle shapes. I sewed them in batches, and arranged on my design wall to distribute the colors.


On The Sunny Side is 48” square. I chose a gray swirl design on white for backing and binding. I quilted across each square in a serpentine stitch, horizontally and vertically, using yellow thread on top and gray in the bobbin. 


It's fabulous to be in the sewing room on hot or rainy days, doing what I love.


Accuquilt dies used:
55047 4” finished quarter square triangles
55017 2½” strip for binding

Keep on the sunny side,
Always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
