I just need to whip-stitch the binding, and my year of Four Season's Quilt Swapping is done. I am pleased with the results. I quilted this one like mad, with small white curlique quilting in the applique panel, wavy rays radiating from the sun, green leaves in the grass, and hot pink flowers in the side borders. I did make a judgment call not to blanket stitch the main stems on the flowers as it seemed too overpowering. I did one and actually took it out. Here's the nearly final product:
I got to finish the top and quilt most of it last night while my children had their first sleep-overs with friends, while they danced, watched movies, and committed general mayhem about the house, I sewed. One of the fathers came over to hang out with my husband for a while, too, so the family was engaged on many fronts!
I've also started the Book Awards Challenge 2; for full details, see my newly revived "
Getting My Read On" blog. Should be fun!

Your summer quilt is so pretty. It is very creative. Someone is going to receive a really nice quilt.
That is a very pretty little quilt. I love the way you have done the border.
I am so thrilled with the Four Seasons summer quilt. I absolutely love it! The colors are so bright and cheerful and the quilting is exquisite. I think I will frame it (at my friend's suggestion) as it is a piece that I will treasure forever. Thank you so much! Dixie
