A Bright Sunshiny Day

Well, it's not so bright outside--another cool rainy day--but it's bright in my sewing room!

Lucky me (again)!! I won this bundle of Riley Blake solids from the Fat Quarter Shop

on their Jolly Jabber blog (thank you Kimberly Jolly!):

Lots of fun colors that will go with my collection of American Jane, 30's Retro's and even my small collection of Kaffe Fasset fabrics. 

Hmmmm... I'm not sure what I will do with them, but I see that I have lots of options. 

These blocks are from Sherri's fifth post for her Solids Sew Along

Sherri McConnell's Solid's Block Sew Along from A Quilting Life

Or I could combine my new solids with some of my scraps ( I have plenty of those!!) and make something like this:

Deb Kratovil's Fractured Jewels

Find the free pattern from Windham Fabrics HERE

Maybe I should combine them with my Retro prints and start making Lori Holt's barn blocks--so cute!

You know how I love a Sew Along--how have I resisted starting these??

Since they are Riley Blake solids, maybe I should use a Riley Blake pattern from their website--they have tons! I especially like THIS ONE---love the hexies!!

Cool quilting too!
