Welcome Creative Adventurers! Here it is! The reveal of my Summer 2022 Scrappy Sizzler Quilt! I hope you had lots of fun sewing along with me. The photo above is the multi-color version of the quilt top. I think it turned out great. I’ll have the blue and white version to show you in a couple of weeks. I love the denim sashing and borders. They complement the busy, scrappy blocks and give the eye a place to rest. I’m having it quilted with a medium green thread in a gently floral pattern. I can’t wait to get it back from my long arm quilter!
