I made another red vase quilt, but this one has more fancy drinks than the last so I'm calling it "Happy Hour." It's for sale for $175, including shipping. Size is 17 inches wide by 22 inches high. Hanging sleeve on back.
Update: It sold! Thanks, Lil.
I fused the appliqués and then free-motion quilted them with black thread. It was fun following all the shapes.
The back is black, although it looks grey here. This shows the quilting lines.

Now this next idea is no joke! This is a photo from Facebook that shows how to take a cool shower in Tucson in the summer. Our "cold" water gets so hot sitting in the water pipes that it's impossible to get a cool shower. In fact, the "cold" water feels hotter than the "hot" water from the water tank!
The forecast shows triple digits and a chance of rain every day with the promise of the monsoon, but so far I haven't even gotten a sprinkle.
Have a colorful day

This may be your best one yet! Hope it finds a buyer.
Never heard of the waterlines heating like that but it does make sense. However you can, stay cool!
Such a fun, cheerful quilt. I especially love the use of black thread. Gives it the look of a pen and ink drawing that is enhanced with watercolor.
I really like the slightly irregular outlining with black thread. And those cooling cocktails, ahhh. I hope you get a buyer.
