Walking On Sunshine

I love a bright quilt with lots of contrast. This one is just the ticket, plus the added benefit of being quick and easy to sew!


The bright yellow and orange batiks and dots look gorgeous with black & white prints. Walking On Sunshine is a simple, modern design, finishing out at 48” square.


I used dove gray thread to quilt just each side of the wedges with three lines of straight stitching. My walking foot kept everything straight and even.


This would look great anywhere in the house, but it may hang on my kitchen wall for a while. 


Do y'all remember that 1980's song?  Now that it's stuck in my head, I may have more pep in my step this week!
