April has been a busy month with appointments and some Spring cleaning/organization, but I did get a few quilting-related things done. First and foremost, is finishing the graduation quilt for my friend, Kristen’s son Aidan. I used a Raven, Skull, and Roses paper piecing pattern for this 60” square lap-size quilt. This is absolutely my favorite April finish! I especially love the Driftwood quilting pattern used by Cara with Sew Colorado Quilting.

On the total other end of the quilting complexity spectrum, I made a simple patchwork sewing machine mat in sunset colors.

Finally I made four Mini Square in Square blocks for Many Hands and Many Hearts.

Next month I plan to start working on another sunrise gradient quilt. It is called Lake Superior Sunrise Quilt. I have loved this quilt for a few years now and am looking forward to using color design skills learned from Alison Glass’ Color Camp to bring this beauty to life.
