Anyone want to do another Quilt Along?  Or maybe digging out those UFOs has you wanting to finish some projects before starting another??  This quilt is not difficult at all.  It can easily be made larger or smaller.  This one I made several years ago and I think I gave it away as a gift to a one of the winners whose name was drawn from those who sent donations to the Red Cross for Joplin after the tornado there.

Sunny Side Up

I’m not sure what I loved more . . the quilt or the family room in that house!  I do miss the family room and the kitchen and . . I miss Chad!  🙁

The quilt as drawn, would be 65″ x 83″.  The one shown above was a bit scrappy in that I used different golds for the star points but the same gold for the center of each block.  The background is the same for the center of the quilt but a different background is used for the borders.

Here’s how it would look in a QOV version.

If I started this on May 1, would anyone want to do it with me?

  1. I would do it! Love this pattern and can see it with scrappy stars to use up some of the smaller pieces in my stash,

    Thanks!!

  6. Would love to make this!! (In addition to the 3 trillion other projects I have going…LOL!!

  7. sure! i’m in ;o) i finished 2 BOMs and need another little project that is new instead of a UFO

  8. I LOVE that quilt! It was already on my want to do list. Can’t wait to start pulling fabric.Oops may have to buy some yellows!

  10. I was thinking that maybe this is my answer to a wedding quilt. I just can’t bring myself to start making the wedding quilt in a double wedding ring or the lone star quilt I thought about. I keep procrastinating. Maybe this would be my answer.

  11. Yes! I would love BOTH!!!!! I LOVE that Sunny Side up quilt – just gorgeous! And even know whose bed it would look gorgeous on! MINE!
    Also would DEFINITELY love to do a UFO quilt a long (post beginning pix, then re-post the updated pix at various designated points along the way!)
    I have something like 65 quilts (most – if not all – listed on side bar of my blog under flimsies and UFOs or WIPs) and truly need to do some MAJOR things to them – particularly since at least 30 or so were begun a year ago! Only a few were from before that!

  13. I love the quilt, but in addition to the parade, I listed out 4 steps I need to take to reduce the size of my stash. Not starting new quilts until I get something finished is #1 on those steps. I don’t know that I can get anything finished in the next two weeks since I have to work as well.

  17. You know me. I’m always game. I’ll have this one finished in the next couple of days, and that for a May project would be great!

  18. I would love to join in this quilt along. I need to make a quilt for my nephews. Blue and white would be wonderful.

  22. I know you are in the garden like me from dawn to dark-thirty. When do you sew? I can’t get in my sewing room again until mid-June. By then I’m in the garden til id-morning then back out early evening.

  23. Yes, I’d love to do this quilt. I especially love the R, W and B version – always catches my eye!

  24. I really like the quilt and would try to keep up. We are vendors for the local Farmers’ Market and it opens May 4. We don’t have much planted yet because the ground is still pretty cold although we are starting to warm up. so LOTS of plnting starting soon. When do you find time to sew with your gardening??

  29. I would like to try. Lord knows that I have so many ufos, what’s one more. LOL I don’t have a blog though.

  30. My last quilt along was the bears paw one, and it is on my bed and might be my favorite quilt. I’m in for this one!

  32. I would love to do a quilt along. I enjoyed the one in the past. Count me in!!

  34. I think I’m in. I really want to do this. Maybe I can keep up. Life on a farm in the spring doesn’t leave much time for sewing, but I’m gonna try. I would like to do this one in purples.

  35. I am so in on this! Will be making the patriotic version with scraps…Thanks for the inspiration.

  37. I’ve followed your blog for years, but was unable to have time to start one of your quilts,until now. I am planning a scrappy patriotic and already have step one done. Keep up the good work.

    • Late starting, but working to catch up. Hope mine turns out half as good as “Sunny side up” !!

  39. A late starter, but I’m up for this QAL. Will have to catch up quickly!

  40. Judy – I am so excited to be finishing up Sunny Side Up in patriotic colors but have one question. Am I looking at the directions correctly??? Is border # 5 background or should it be Dark Gold?? (so far my quilt is looking really good and I am so happy with how it has turned out) Your directions have been easy to follow but I wanted to make sure about Border # 5. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible talent with us and allowing us “not so talented” to be able to produce a beautiful quilt
