This was a fun, fast, quilt to make - its a Moda Bakeshop pattern that uses a layer cake and you can find it here. I found these Summer House Layer Cakes on sale a few years ago and I couldn't resist. The colors are so vibrant and fresh and they just bring a smile to my face.
I backed it with this blue print and this pink dot for the binding, both from my stash:
This makes a 58" x 58" quilt which is perfect for a nice sized baby quilt or a lap quilt.
I always tell Jackie to just quilt whatever she is inspired to quilt and she always chooses the perfect design:
I took this in to show the gals at the sale barn - 3 of them are quilters and we always bring our projects in to share - and they are all making quilts using this pattern.
It doesn't look much like summer around here at the moment - no lush green anything for a pretty backdrop, with the exception of that lilac bush that is on the verge of blooming, but a finish is worth blogging about and I have one less UFO on my list. :)

Great quilt and the colors are delicious! Looks like every point is perfect. So glad you're having/taking time to quilt and to share with us. Now I'm spoiled and hoping to see you post something several times a week????
Oh those colors scream SPRING to me! Love that green... this is a great quilt pattern. I've never seen it before but I will be making a copy. I have lots of layer cakes waiting for some attention.
