The LAST seam going in!
The last moment of sunshine on Sunday!
Close up!
This quilt doesn't have a name yet. There is no pattern available yet. But I am starting the production process of quilts for the NEXT book in the pipe line, so you will be seeing a whole lot of things with a string piecing theme from me in the next year!
It takes a LONG time to make 12 quilts for a book, especially with my schedule, so I am reveling in this time home to really get excited about the prospect of a follow up book to String Fling.
This one is getting borders next!
And they are going on TODAY!
I'll be spending today up here, but heading home tomorrow for some appointments happening on Thursday.
Remember we are setting up for Quilt-Cam tomorrow evening, from home at 9pm Eastern!

I hope your Sunshine On Sunday quilt makes the cover of your new book. It's stunning!
Love the picture of the cabin in the rain. Good for you doing what you love. I love the crumb block stars and the strings...another string quilt book, whoo hooo!
Oh Bonnie, that star quilt is absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of the lights that dance across my kitchen walls as the sun shines through my Saworski crystal hanging in my kitchen window. Love, love it. Janice Park k4squilt@zoominternet.net
The house looks very inviting and the place to be! Good luck with your book!
You are an amazing quilt artist!
The more string quilts, the better!
As I said on FB,,,,looking at this picture, anyone would know where your quilting rooms are....... lovely picture....
Your new quilt is gorgeous! Thanks for making more string quilts. They are my favorites! If only I could just convince the ladies in my stitching group to let themselves have fun with fabric.....Thanks for all you do!
It was worth it to get my link-up done early. I have had more comments than last week. Waiting for QuiltCam. Gotta get my Christmas Secret projects finished up so I have handwork to do while I watch. I'm on the downhill side this week. I've even had time for my goodie baking. One more group party tonight. Nice to see the shirt strips go under the needle.
I thought you were naming the quilt Sunshine on Sunday. I think it would be a perfect name for it. Love it so much!!!!

Our group in Tucson, AZ met this last Saturday. It was a rainy day and perfect for staying in and sewing. Breaks in the rain came at the right times - arrival and departures. We are all Bonnie fans and met last year through the mystery quilt. Rainy days = great quilting days.

Ladies, I think we need to lock our sewing room doors more tightly. I suspect Bonnie has been raiding my stash. :o I recognized not one but NINE fabrics in her green string blocks picture on her Facebook page today. I'm sure that they came from my stash, but equally sure that if confronted, she'd flat out deny it! You've all been warned... LOL! Great quilting minds think alike at the fabric stores, apparently, or else scraps have a way of getting around without much effort.
Love your new quilt! Since it is going in a new string quilt book, perhaps a good name for it would be Stringing the Stars (if you don't name it Sunshine on Sunday!).
Will make sure to buy that new book .Your string star quilt is awesome I love it. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it it is over the moon so beautiful.
Looking forward to buying it..
Happy Quilting Bonnie .Yoka Bazilewich
Bonnie, you're SUCH a good writer! It is sew easy to read you words and understand your thoughts. Not that you asked our opinions, but I like the sound of "Sunday Sunshine"!
