Sunshine On My Shoulders

Do you remember John Denver's song Sunshine On My Shoulders? That is the first thing I thought of when Carol announced this blog hop Here Comes The Sun. You most likely know that Carol, Carla and Joan put on the most fun hops around. Thank you ladies for hosting and inspiring us to join in the hops! If you are new here welcome!! I hope you will look around and maybe even sign up to follow me:)

For this hop Carol suggested we make something to do with sunshine, summer, beaches or something yellow. It didn't take me long to figure out I wanted to remake a table runner I had already made a few times. It requires the Accuquilt Morning Star die to make it, but doesn't it just look summery and like a sunshine in these scrappy yellow fabrics.

I wrote a tutorial for Accuquilt on how to make this table runner a couple years ago, you can find it HERE. I will show you a couple of the steps for the block. You start by adding yellow triangles to the white one, making two of these units for each quadrant of the block.

Make four quadrants and sew them together for the block. This runner is composed of three blocks.

I quilted it on my Nolting Funquilter with an allover freehand hook swirl design. I used Glide thread in a yellow/gold and Hobbs 80/20 for the batting.
