Bright Hopes, Summer Dreams
Despite my determination not to get sidetracked from the projects I'm already working on, I did. On Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting, I saw a project she was piecing called Bright Hopes. She shared the link to the original designer, Red Pepper Quilts. It really intrigued me. No matter how I told myself no, I couldn't resist.
I pulled light background fabrics, a few colors too and started to sew. This is fun! I'm going to call my quilt Summer Dreams since it's summertime and I dream about making quilts while driving tractor.
This will be a long term project unless I get tired of slow piecing and decide to get 'er done.
Just a reminder, I won't be posting for the month of August, see you in September!

I can't believe the variety of low-volume prints you have! That is one area in which my stash is low. (Hard to believe right?) This is going to look fantastic. You are as bad as I am about starting new things, but I try not to feel too guilty about it. If I've got the fabric, then I say I make whatever I want, no matter how many other quilts I have going at the time!
Lovely! All those light fabrics together to give this a summery feel. Enjoy the summer, and I hope your farm duties leave you some time for sewing.
I love those blocks, too, and have been slowly making some since I read Cathy's post. It is definitely a summery feeling quilt! Have a wonderful August!
Interesting block and it will be a Summer's Dream for you! Enjoy and looking forward to your September starts!
This is great... low volume quilts are so much fun! Enjoy your August!
THose lights ( or low volume or what ever the term is ha ha) are gorgeous!! What a beautiful combo!!
Hi Gretchen! Your quilt is going to be just lovely and it has the perfect name of Summer Dreams. Enjoy the month away from the blogging world, and we'll see you in September! ~smile~ Roseanne
Eep! I covet your stash of low-volume fabrics!
I have about ten different low volume kind of fabrics and I’m realizing I like them....after seeing your pretty blocks. Definitely sings of summer!
I enjoyed looking at your fabrics! Summer Dreams, indeed! Those blocks are fun and addictive, aren't they?
Those are great fabrics for a project called Summer Dreams. :) I really like a lot of what Red Pepper Quilts has dones, so I really don't blame you at all!
Can't wait until you are posting again-I miss you. Summer Dreams is tempting me to make one too....but I am trying to stand firm with the projects at hand. Judy
