This is the Sunshine Blue Skies quilt that I've been sharing peeks of with you on Facebook and Instagram this week. It's available through Connecting Threads as both a pattern and a kit. The kit includes fabrics from Connecting Threads Sunshine Terrace fabric collection, as shown in the above photo.
I made this version of Sunshine Blue Skies using blue and yellow scraps from my stash.
This quilt features two paper pieced blocks. This one...
...and this one. The two blocks together create a happy spinning windmill look.
I used Hobbs Thermore batting which is a thin lightweight batt, perfect for a summertime quilt.
Sunshine Blue Skies finishes at 41" x 50", just right for a lap quilt or a small picnic quilt.

Here's a close up of the loopy meander quilting. I used a yellow color changing thread by Superior, King Tut for the quilting, Sunstone. The piecing was done with Aurifil thread and everything was stitched with Schmetz needles.
I used a piece of Bermuda by Island Batik for the backing.
I had just enough of this pretty blue and yellow flower print to use it for both the outer border and the binding.
Here it is, hanging over the front porch railing.
