finally finished

when mom and i lived near the beach, we went every chance we got...any season but especially summer.  this is one of many photos i took of nearly the exact same view...

all the pretty umbrellas against the bluest sky and water....i wanted to imprint it in my memory to recall and relive forever....even now when i close my eyes, i am right back there....a memory that morphed into a fabric reality named cabana daydreams!

not the greatest photo but couldn't wait to put it to use....here is a peek of the scrappy binding....3 different yellows were used but even up close, it is not noticeable at all...

this idea came to life when a generous anonymous quilter mailed me a box of various fabrics that included 3 charm packs of these bright and colorful fabrics that jump started my modern quilty muse and took off at warp speed....with (hopefully) only 2 more days of sweltering summer temps...today and tomorrow....this quilt will keep those beach days with me, not to mention brighten AND warm the coming cooler days and nights.  this one is a keeper for sure!  and again, designer is shayla wolf--she calls her pattern 'wynkoop court'

and with this finish, immediately moved the frame over to 365....since it's october 1st, have 85 days to get 'er done...now THAT is a challenge for sure!  

it's a busy week so no time to spare! first up, tho, is turn on the a/c!
