Bright
yellow and orange batiks combined with a small navy print make a
striking combination for this quilt.
After
my last quilt, I was ready for an easy project with larger pieces.
Cutting and sewing went very quickly, and I used a simple alternating row
layout.
Lucy In The Sky finished at 45” x 49” after adding a 3” border. The back
is yellow with gold polka dots. I quilted with gold thread, using a
walking foot and serpentine stitch, 3” apart. It would make an
adorable baby quilt or wall hanging.

Weather
note: March came roaring in like a lion across the southern
US...rain, hail, storms and ferocious wind for three days made quite
a mess. Thousands of trees are down in middle Tennessee, damaging
homes, cars, and power lines. We lost two 50 and 60 foot white pine
trees during the near hurricane force winds. Thankfully, they fell
away from our house into our neighbor's hay field. Our electricity
was only out for a few hours but many are still in the dark.
Unfortunately, there were several local deaths. Our thoughts are with
those families.
