Thanks APQ for publishing my quilt, "Sunshine Showers" here known as "DOUBLE TAKE" in this newest issue.

I started making this quilting March 2011... Somethings I've been sitting on for quite a while! haha!

The back story:

Care to see how this quilt started? Well, in March 2011... That's when it started! I had this crazy idea that I could make the above image into one quilt... Although it could have been fun, it just wasn't coming together for me... so, I stepped back, and looked again....
To busy!!! But crazy fun... I do like a busy quilt... but even this was to much for me!


I decided right then, that now, two things were happening... ideas were colliding... So,
Here is what actually happened!  So as you can see, I split the idea... TWO quilts... Since I had already made all the blocks to go around, I could easily change it up and turn it into two quilts...
One got done faster, You will find the one below on page 88 of my book 15 Minutes of Play.

You can also see the original blog post on the start of this quilt here. It's a post worth re-sharing! The power of creative women, indeed!

 Have you made one quilt and used parts to make an entirely new quilt with the same color palette?
