Stopped Me In My Tracks...

Have you been over at the Painted Quilt Blog recently?  Well if you have, you would have found Kaaren rolling around on this quilt...OK... right now, that roll is in her mind!  She stumbled over this quilt and now wants to host a.... SEW-A-LONG to make this quilt! 

I love the name that Kaaren picked for this quilt...She is calling it the "Stopped Me in My Tracks" quilt...haha...which is EXACTLY what happened to me!  Before I read what Kaaren wrote, this quilt literally stopped me in my tracks!  
I confess...I have wanted to make a yellow and white quilt forever...ever since I saw one in a vintage/antique quilt show at the Parksville Quilt Show!  
I found this picture on Pinterest...but it was VERY similar to the one that stopped me in my tracks!
So unlike Kaaren, I am not rolling around on the bed, I am JUMPING on the bed!  I say BRING IT ON, Kaaren!!  
How about YOU...care to take the plunge?!!  Do a little jumping of your own?  Come on, you know you wanna...

Now I need to find me some yellow fabric...which isn't the easiest task...I want the PERFECT yellow fabric because it has to be a buttery...melt in your mouth... yellow!  Go over to Kaaren's and sign up for the Stopped Me in My Tracks Sew-A-Long...and then drool over her new Thimbleberries-Melt-In-Your-Mouth yellow fabric!  It's perfect!

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P

  2. Yes, I saw that, but I didn't see Kaaren rolling on the bed. Darn--that would be a memorable image, I'm sure. : )
    I can see you jumping on the bed, and I hope you are still that happy after shopping for your yellow.
    No SALs for me this year, but I can enjoy watching. : )

  3. I'm. Ore of a lemon yellow and white, similar to the picture of the Pinterest picture you shared than the beige yellow that Kaen posted.

    No I don't need another sew along to stray. Too many going on right now!

  10. Well, have lots of fun making your special quilt and I will enjoy seeing your progress! IF I was doing this SAL, it would be in blues and cream. Scrappy.

  11. Oh, I know you're going to have fun. My yellow and white quilt that I made is winter is off at the Quilter's waiting it's turn. I think the Kona yellow I used was called Butter.
