With Summer quickly approaching and the sun bringing the flowers to life, we're releasing a new quilt design called Sunshine!  Maybe where you live it gets too hot in the summer to be outside a whole lot, so summer is actually quilting season, not just the winter!

Sunshine is a brand new quilt pattern looks great in the modern Lazy Afternoon fabric collection with its burnt orange prints mixed with pale pink, blue, and yellow.

The Sunshine quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop here.


Wake up to Sunshine


Bring the sunshine to your home with the Sunshine quilt pattern!  Sunshine is a quick and easy to use pattern that is great for so many fabric combinations.  The design has crisp sashing lines that give the eye a place to rest among the classic blocks, and pieced setting triangles finish the design clear out to the edges of the quilt.  Don't let those pieced setting triangle blocks worry you; they're easy to make following the detailed instructions and diagrams in the pattern.

Fabrics that say Ah!


This Baby sized Sunshine quilt was made using two charm packs of the Lazy Afternoon fabric collection by Zen Chic for Moda Fabrics.  This stunning fabric does an excellent job of combining fun and unique designs with bright summery colors and pastels.  I love the way the quilt turned out with this modern fabric collection.  Sunshine would make the most adorable baby quilt for that little bundle of joy on your mind!

The sashing fabric is Confetti Cotton Cloud, the backing is Kona Cotton Solid Blue, available in our shop here, and the binding is a tiny black and white on-point gingham, adding a fun zip to the edges of the quilt.
