Rise and Roost - The Quilt

Here it is - the finished quilt!

48" x 62"

Started in 2016 with Sophie's Old Macdonald Mystery Sampler

that combined Block Lotto monthly blocks

with  RSC monthly color prompts.

Of course, I didn't follow all of Sophie's directions.

I changed out a few of the blocks I didn't care for

and I altered the layout to suit myself.

Instead of creating pointy Dresdens,

my sunflowers were created using Sujata's methods

and I turned this one into the summer sun.

And the pink flowers in my quilt 

were spiky plants in Sophie's version.

The quilt's name comes from these words 

in the barn's large haymow doors.

(my barn is quite different than the one in the directions)

And here are the two sister quilts together.

Sunflower Summer on the left

and

Rise and Roost on the right.

I LOVE THEM BOTH!

Linking this finish with The Rainbow Scrap Challenge

where the current color of the month

features lime, acid, and yellow greens.
