Monday Morning Savings

I'm so excited to share a new feature that will be showing up on the blog from now on, 

starting today...

Monday Morning Savings

I have some awesome Blog Sponsors and beginning today I will be sharing sales and deals and coupon codes that my Sponsors have going on in their shops on the first and middle Mondays of each month. Mondays will also be the day for sharing other freebies and give aways, and the occasional guest blogger too, turning the first day of the week into 

Monday Morning Savings!!!

Don't forget to check the Discount Codes page tab regularly, at the top of my blog page. Codes will be entered and removed from there as I get them and they expire.
I will post them again in a Monday Morning Savings post, but this way you can use them as they happen with no wait time!!

#99 Summer Breeze with a Splash from RJR Fabrics

I was lucky enough to find this fantastic bundle of Splash by Alex Anderson from RJR Fabrics  in my mail box........

So I went to work on EQ7 to come up with a fun block to showcase this great line

and this is what I came up with. I'm calling it Summer Breeze.

It was my first time making a block without a solid fabric for the background, which was a real challenge for me, lol.  I just wasn't sure if it was too busy....but....

I loved this line of fabric the first time I saw it on Instagram (seriously even the salvage is cute)

and I love all the low volume quilts I see online, but I just wasn't sure I was combining the fabrics properly? I kept stopping and walking away from my sewing, and second guessing myself, as I was completing each block.
It was a real stretching experience for sure, 

but I am glad to say I stuck with it and finished the quilt top and I love it!!!

What do you think? 

Let me know how you feel about this block. Yes or No? 

I would love to hear from you.....
