Project Quilting 15.2 Sky Colors

 

Gosh, I love Project Quilting! Not only is it great to wrap my head around a theme/prompt for a week, but it's so satisfying to completely finish a project in 7 days or less! 

Once again, I scoured my favorite inspiration site, Pinterest, for what I would make using the prompt "Sky Colors". I didn't want to go the route of sunrise or sunset with a boat on the horizon. Although those pieces can be beautiful, I wanted something more modern.

I pulled several scrap pieces from my stash in yellows, oranges, and reds. 

These were fused onto Heat 'n Bond Lite.

Then I sliced each shape into strips of various widths.

This is the first layer of strips ironed onto my background fabric. 3 more layers came after this one.

When all the strips were sewn down (lots of stitching!), I worked on the center piece...the sun with a corona of orange behind it. 

Here she is before trimming down and binding with a yellow stripe fabric.

I needed to cut it down quite a bit to show less of the blue background. 

Final Size: 13" x 15"

Made in my home in Asbury Iowa

At least 3 layers of fabric, including batting were used.
