Dust Off A Quilt Book ~ My Day!


Sunny Lanes Baby Quilt 


"Easy Four Patch Quilting" 
by Joanne Stauffer and Sandra Hatch





I have made this block by this name before for a block swap from


but never sewed it into a quilt.

I like the instructions in the book much better. 



Lots of strip and chain piecing.

I started it here

My kind of sewing!


I made one change from the pattern
I added tags to some of the four patch blocks  HERE


The 47" by 59" baby quilt calls for 12 of these 
Sunny Lanes Blocks.

I am sorry that I do not have a finished project to show you.



I am still working on this quilt.

I have been suffering from sinus related headaches this month.

This is not uncommon for me in late winter,
when the house has been closed up for months.
It slows me down even more than my normal snail sewing pace.

Silly me,  my love of books, blog hops and quilting
had me signing up for two blog hops in the same week
and I know how slow I sew.

  2. Pat, sorry that you have been having sinus headaches. They are miserable. I love the colors and the fabrics. The addition of the tabs is a wonderful idea for the baby to have a grab toy, too. You will have another wonderful quilt. The baby boy will be blessed. I pray that you feel better very soon.

  9. Pat I love those sunny fabrics of yellow and gray together. Well the gray isn't really sunny and a bit of a contradiction I suppose, lol, but I have always liked those 2 colors together; even if I have never made anything with yellow and gray together before. Now why is that??? I just might have to find a project to make with those colors. Feel better. I know how hard it can be to feel so stifled being in a closed up house for too long.
