Since today is the first day of Summer, this is the perfect day to show some sunflowers!These are the first pictures of the finished top. It's pinned to the backing and as of this afternoon, I have the blue part of the quilt stippled.
These pictures aren't the best--the fabrics are very bright primary colors, but with a borrowed camera and under florescent lights I can at least show what I did with the sunflowers.
I can also say that this quilt was entirely made from fabric from stash....if I made 20 of these in all different fabrics, I'd STILL have stash....*sigh*
The ladybugs were DH's idea. I was going to do butterflys, but he thought the red bugs would add some more color. Yes...I need all the help I can get and they're good at giving it!
I'm also tempted to do a 3-D butterfly...one that the wings are free, but this is for a 4-yr old little girl. Do I dare?
This is the backing fabric...I think it is what inspired the front.
First day of summer. If this is only a preview..it's going to be a long hot, humid summer!

What a lovely bright quilt! I don't have any suggestions on the quilting - I have enough of those problems myself - LOL. Love the ladybugs, DH made a good choice.
Yes, do a 3-d butterfly. In... green or purple or something like that. 4 year old girls LOVE butterflies. It's a beautiful quilt. :)

I agree go for the butterfly - she'll love it too - just make sure you stitch it down securely and you'll be fine
I just love this quilt! It's so happy! Butterfly sounds like a great idea!
