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!

    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!

    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
