Rise and Shine-ish is a Finish

So once I got all the blocks on my design wall, and created the perfect layout, I thought maybe those corners would look better with some triangles.

So I added them!

This is Rise and Shine-ish

It is Lifetime Quilt Number 167

It finished at 64" x 64"

It has approximately 1,004 pieces.

The inspiration for this quilt was the pattern Rise and Shine by Camille Roskelley for Thimble Blossoms.

I'm very happy with how this project turned out.  I have a nice stack of scraps leftover and plan to add to the stack over the next year so I can make another Halloween quilt next year.

And a funny thing happened, I decided I liked my blocks better this way.

So now instead of working on Rise and Shine, I'm working on Rise and Shine-ish!!
