Rising Sun Quilt

Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. I had to do, you know, mom stuff. Yesterday my son thought he broke his arm, so I had to take him to the ER. Thankfully, not broken. Regrettably, an afternoon gone. But, such is the life of a mother, n'est pas?
Anyhoo, I promised I would post about my Rising Sun Quilt! It's a great quilt - quick piecing, a fun block method, and a little bit of handwork...my kind of quilt!


So, you can get the FREE pattern here:  Rising Sun Quilt Tutorial

Here are some pics of what I have so far...

Here is one block!

A group of them together :)

My husband thought, why not make them circles? And I thought, who wants to match all those seams?!
Besides, my husband is not permitted to advise me when it comes to anything sewing ;)

The only thing I have to say about the tutorial is that it has very confusing instructions. This is not a
pattern (or instructions) for beginners. Take your time reading over everything before you start and plan your cutting carefully. But the results are beautiful! And I plan on giving this quilt to my Mother-in-law for her birthday at the end of the month. She was the first to show me the quilt; I think she was was trying to hint at something :) I hear ya, Mom, loud and clear!
