Happy Hour Margaritas By: Mjnauert, Texas, USA
At the quilt shop a few weeks ago, a small gathering of ladies were laughing at an ”ugly” fabric saying that nothing could be done with it and that it would be there forever. I took this as a personal challenge to buy that fabric as sashing. I added citrus and bright margarita-inspired colors.

Molly’s Quilt By: Angie, North Carolina, USA
This quilt is for my friends’ daughter, Molly, who turned a year old this spring. It is intended to be a playmat for outdoor fun, like picnics and playgrounds. I used bright, summery fabrics that are playful and colorful. It was finished while on vacation at the beach. :)

Patriotic Summer Picnic Quilt By: Kim Hanson, Alberta, Canada
A very simple premise – large blocks symbolizing patriotism and embroidered designs mesh well in my version of a simple, summer picnic quilt. Such fun to sew, quilt and embroider – this quilt was featured in Quilting & Embroidery magazine, Spring, 2011. Red, white & blue all the way!

Rows of Flowers By: Amber T, Maryland, USA
I fell in love with the Moda Woodland Bloom jelly roll and knew that I had to have it! I used the strips uncut so that I didn’t lose the large beautiful flowers. It has a light batting, so it’s perfect for the summer.

Summer Blues By: Lindy, Washington, USA
I made a series of landscapes featuring a mountain lake in all four seasons. I challenged myself to depict each season in a single colorway. I had to break that ‘rule’ when I wanted to add sunshine and sailboat, but felt the ’emotion’ of each season was portrayed nicely in this personal challenge!

Using firefox 3 I see all the large photos of the quilts underneath all the normal small photos of the quilts. So I can’t read any of the descriptions or names of the quilts well at all. I don’t always come and vote, and haven’t for a while, but this is what I am seeing today.
Marlene! Your Red Beach ocean is to drown in! Love it!
Not usually a fan of landscape quilts, but Red Beach Santorini blew me away!
Love the Summer’s Passion and Pink Delight because it has the embroidery in it.
Just want to say thank you to everyone who supported ‘Red Beach, Santorini’. I was away this weekend so wasn’t able to personally get the vote out (so to speak), and am honored to have come in 2nd. Thank you Thank you for your kind comments above too.
Me gustan todos ,pero me gusta el de pasiĆ³n de verano un saludo..
