Ensolarado

"Ensolarado" is the Portugese word for "sunny".

My mom gave me a layer cake (collection of 10" squares of fabric) from the April Cornell "Portugal" collection;  this warm and friendly quilt is the result.

I love, love, love this backing fabric... I didn't have quite enough so I pieced the back together with some other funky fabrics and incorporated the label right in. I went ahead and put the date on the label before I sandwiched my quilt; I was (sort of) surprised to realize how long it had been sitting in my sewing room when I got around to finishing it for my guild's 2013 show... it was dated 2011! (I must have given up on finishing it just before our last show!)
