Sparkles Quilt in Sunny Side Up Batiks
Today is the last day of the Beat the Heat blog hop from Island Batik
There have been all kinds of neat quilts made for the blog hop and today, Joan and I will share our quilts.
We are working with the beautiful collection called Sunny Side Up which is part of the Spring 2019 batiks from Island Batik. Just look at all of the neat fabrics!
I used eleven different batiks from the Sunny Side Up collection in my quilt.
The batting I used was a twin size Hobbs Heirloom 80/2 0 batting and I used Muslin Aurifil thread for the piecing and quilting.
I lucked out with this beautiful tree in our yard! I may not have river views in the background anymore, but this works!
Thank you Island Batik, Hobbs, and Aurifil for the products used in this blog hop!
Sparkles
53½” x 63″
I no longer have my huge brick backdrop setup as there just isn’t room so I am back to using a garage door to hangs my quilts. I did a post showing how to use magnets on your garage door.
Last year I bought some polymer packing tape that works great for temporarily holding my quilts on different surfaces like the garage door and that is what I used to hang up this quilt.
The Sparkles quilt pattern available in my shop.
Be sure to check out the Sparkles quilt made with the Petal Pushers collection.

Yellow and Blue are timeless color combinations and these Island Batik fabrics are gorgeous the way you have showcased them in your “Sunny Side Up” quilt. Your tree and garage door backdrops are very clever dear.
You don’t use your indoor backdrop? I think it’s the same one I got, how big is yours? Great quilt!
“Sunny Side Up” because I love yellows and blues together. Love Connie’s quilt and the giveaway. Thanks you!
I just love the Sunny Side Up collection and the pattern you used is great. You really have a chance to see all the fabrics. I too have always wanted to make a blue and yellow quilt, maybe now I will. Thanks……..hope I win!
Love the clockworks batiks – great for a masculine project!!! Love your quilt!
Your hanging ideas are very clever. I am in a rut in terms of where I photograph my quilts and may need to come up with some new ideas. Love those yellows and blues!!
The colors are gorgeous! So bright and cheerful.
I love all of them!!! I think I might have a fabric problem…
I love your Sparkles and Sunny Side Up. Bright, cheerful colors!
The simple, yet elegant design really lets the colors shine! Beautiful quilt!
Loving Sunny Side Up!
I like them all…but I like the Soul line.
Sunny Side Up is so cheerful. It just makes you think of warm summer days and reasons to smile.
I like Oh Deer a lot.
The blues and yellows in this collection are just yummy! Love them in your quilt
Love raw Island Batik fabric collections. And Connie’s projects bring those fabrics to life. Have created several that results in many positive comments.
Love this quilt and the tree is perfect. I think the blues and yellows in this are spot on and you once again did a lovely job!
Love, love, love the blues and yellows! Beautiful quilt!
I’ve never seen an Island batik collection that I didn’t love!
Garden Party is a collection that really caught my eye. This sunnyside up collection is really gorgeous too.
Love the Sunny Side up Batik collection! Yellows and blues are some of my favorite colors for a quilt!
Love the simplicity of this quilt and love the fabric collection
I’m love the Sunny Side Up fabric. It’s name says it all.
The sunny side up collection is definitely one of my favorites
I love the Sunny Side UP colours, yummy
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt with blues and yellows. Never got around to it but this definitely makes me want to make one.
So glad you are near your grandchildren. I remember all the times I used to pick my grandsons and grand daughter up after school. Now the grandsons are in college. We moved from Wisconsin to Tennessee so we don’t see our grand daughter very much. She is growing up fast. Miss them all.
I love them all, but the blue and yellows are my favorite.
Love the color combination and these beautiful batiks!
I think High Tide, love your new quilt
I really like this Sunny Side Up collection.
Blue & yellow go so well together – love the combination! Thanks for all your creativity as well as sharing it with fellow quilters.
Beautiful and Bright! Great job Connie 🙂
I love so many Island Batik collections it’s hard to choose one. My current favorite is Spirit Rhythm! It would look beautiful in your pattern.
So beautiful, can’t choose which one I like the best, they are all so beautiful!
Beautiful quilt, Connie. I love it hanging on the tree. You are fortunate to have the tree for shade and beauty. We live in a beautiful forested area and we love trees. Your designs are really great. Keep up the good work!
So hard to choose, but icicles are lovely
I love Sunnyside Up!
i love them all but maybe clockwork batiks
I have always wanted to sew a blue and yellow quilt. It is beautiful.
Love the Blues and Yellow of this collection but all batiks are so eye catching love any that are aqua, fuchsia or green.
I love the bright colors of this collection…..not a typical batik coloration.
Gorgeous quilt…love the colors!
I love this quilt! My favorite is Sunnyside up!
Love the design of your quilt, the fabric, and colors. It’s simply beautiful!
I have always been a big fan of Twilight Chic but this Sunny Side Up collection is growing on me. Blue & yellow is outside my usual colourway and comfort zone. Might be time to venture out and expand my colour palette!
I am new to the brand of “Island Batiks” and I am loving what I am seeing! Gorgeous and rich colours!
I love the Sunny Side Up collection! The blues and yellows are so bright and beautiful!
Beautiful fabrics, beautiful quilt.
This quilt lives up to its name. Love the colors!
Have always liked yellow and blue colors for a quilt.
Blues and yellows make such a cheery quilt! I love it pictured in that tree! And, I’m so glad you are nearer your grandchildren.For the past six years I have picked mine up from school most every day and taken them a few times. However, this year, my daughter (who is an SLP with the school system) has her office at the boys’ school. They are in second grade. The sweet baby girl is in 5th, so she catches a transit but from her school to theirs and all ride home with mommy. Except today! She has a meeting after school so I get to pick them up and take them to swim team practice – well at least two of them. The other twin has asthma and does not swim, so he will sit with me until one of the parents show up to take over! I’ve missed them this year, but I’ve enjoyed being able to continue with my sewing, quilting, or whatever until I am ready to stop for the day! Enjoy!
I do love these blues and yellows which is why I’m really, really hoping I win! :c)
Love this fabric line. Your quilt is beautiful.
My mom and I discovered we love batiks and you can never have enough in your stash. I love the colors in almost every collection but the Sunny Side Up would be perfect for my mom’s front room, which is done in these colors.
So cheery and beautiful!
I love the mix of yellow in this sunny side up collection
Love blues and yellows
That yellow and blue together are just wonderful. Great quilt.
Your quilt is lovely, cute pattern. This is a pretty collection, but I love Enchanted Forest. I just ordered some Enchanted Forest precuts.
I love this collection, the colors really do sparkle! Your quilt is perfect for showing off the individual prints. Thank you for sharing your quilt with us.
I love your quilt Connie. My sis in law wants a yellow and blue quilt and this would be perfect. The fabrics are just perfect.
Great job and love the fabric you got to play with….ty for sharing your talents with us…
So pretty in these cool colors. I will miss your river views, but what a great tree to look forward to seeing more of:)
Looooove your Sparkles quilt!!! Pattern shows the fabrics soooo nicely too…. it’s definitely filled with sunshine & blue skies!! 🙂
Icicle is still my favorite collection!! Love the new blenders!!
Thank you for sharing today. I love these fabrics. I also love the simplicity of the pattern to make the fabrics shine.
There are too many fantastic selections to choose. Sunny Side Up is one of the favorites.
Thank you for the give-a-way.
I like electric desert – the colors are so rich.
Looks beautiful and
do love the colors.
Carla from Utah
Sunny side up! Who doesn’t love blue and yellow together? Actually though, any collection is beautiful. I have a closet full to suggest that!
That tree was born to hold your quilts!! I love how sunny and happy your quilt turned out.
The quilt does sparkle! Looks great hanging from the tree and I am sure next Mississippi flood you will not miss the river. I hope you are able to sell the old house soon.
Anything blue or green. Teal is my favorite color so that combination makes me happy. Love the blue yelow combination too. Thank you for this giveaway.
Perfect fabrics for this hop and lovely quilt!
Hi Connie. What beautiful, cheery, sunny colors, and they make such a happy quilt. Love it!
I love those blues and yellows. Your quilt really does sparkle.
Connie, your quilt shows off this collection beautifully. Thanks for adding a bit of sparkle to this rainy day.
I love this collection, you lucked out receiving it. Your quilt looks great.
I really love your quilt Connie. The name suits the quilt because those fabrics do seem to sparkle.Thanks for sharing today.
(I miss the photos by the river, but these are great too.)
Love the colors in this line but my favorite has to be the Geared Up. It is so hard to find “guy” fabrics and those are perfect!
What a great design Connie! I’m going to have to go back and check out your garage door backdrop post again. That and your beautiful old tree are great new places to show off your beautiful quilts.
Love the name of your beautiful quilt!
Beautiful quilt. Love these colors. Great job Connie.
Beautiful fabric colors!
