I really like these ones. I hope my person likes the brightness of them. I think I might bring mine to work to brighten up my cubicle!
I used a block from the Everyday Best quilt in Piece O' Cake Designs' Quilts with a Spin. It's a beautiful book. The cover photos on Amazon don't do it justice at all.
I decided to machine quilt with rainbow thread as well as hand quilt with a light yellow and a coral embroidery floss . I use three strands of DMC floss for the quilting. I really want to try the #8 DMC perle cotton but the needlework shop in Ottawa closed a few weeks ago. Very sad. I will have to find a source online.
And a peek a the label. Haha bet you thought it would have the recipient's name on it eh? Nope I did put their name on my label, so years from now I'll remember who I made it for. If there is any interest, I was thinking of doing a tutorial on how I do my labels. Let me know if this is something you'd like to see.
I hope everyone else is having fun working on their quilt!

Beautiful work! You rock! Well done!
This is wonderful - the colors, the movement in the quilt...
Really like the double quilting (machine and hand). LOVE the colors too... even more than the "original" I've seen from Piece O'Cake!
