Sky with Diamonds was inspired by the Beatles song, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which led Carolina Oneto to design this quilt. As she listened to the sounds of “picture yourself in a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies”, that sky that she imagined when she heard the song, began to appear in triangles. Carolina loves playing with colors and their interaction. In this case, the change in value in the grays, and the passage through the chromatic circle from yellow to green, is the game of colors with which she wanted to work. Quilt Size: 60" x 60"

I did this quilt as a simplified version of my quilt “Le Quattro Stagioni” (quilt that was selected to participate in the Carrefour Européen du Patchwork - SAINTE-MARIE-AUX- MINES in 2018), with the aim of inspiring you and encouraging you to do it. The key here is the use and the sequence of colors, you don’t have to use the same ones that I propose, they are only a recommendation! Any harmonious color palette that works, will look beautiful on this quilt, you can change and use cool colors versus warm col- ors, or bright colors versus pastel colors. You can invent the sequence that you want! Seam allowances are 1/4 inch unless otherwise noted. Width of fabric (WOF) is assumed to be 42 inches. Read all instructions carefully before beginning.

I had a dream where I was trying to get lines of orange/white and teal/white fabrics into a design. I kept waking from the dream, hoping I'd remember it in the morning. I managed to get it digitized and as I was looking at the design, I thought if I took just a small section of it, it could be a pretty cool mini quilt. With June coming up soon and all the social distancing, I wanted to be able to celebrate Pride in my own way inside my house.

I chose a pine tree and the sun for the design of a wall quilt, as reminders of winter being a temporary state that we can survive and then rejoice about having passed through, but also enjoy while we are in it.

It'll be unbearably hot in too short a time, so we can enjoy the brisk air as we take the dog out.

So we turn to making. @_maritimemqg is running a quilt drive for completed quilts, preferably in blue and white, as well as some guidelines on how to work collaboratively while physical distancing.
