YELLOW! Around The World

 I had an idea to do an around tgr world quilt in bright happy yellows with some other bright to define the shapes of the trips. 


This is IT! I am so pleased with it. I collected the yellows and the bright on a trip fabric shopping up in Anaheim earlier this year. I cut the 6 strips 2" wide and sewed a tube. Each Blick then is a 9" square with 36 patches.  That totals 720 patches on thus lap quilt!



I used a very light yellow for that backing with a random left over block. I free hand quilted an overall curvy meander in the quilt body with a geometric variation of a  wishbone in the border. 

For Lauren from St. Barts, for her 40th birthday.
