To celebrate my 100th post, it is my pleasure to share with you, my latest finish!
I designed this quilt using my new KYSS (Keep Your Sewing Simple) policy.
Easy piecing - simple design.

KYSS Me Quick!
Perhaps this is the kind of quilt you would wish to give as a gift to a treasured friend?
What's that you say? Hello! There is a BONUS!
For those of you who have attachment issues....
You can make two of these quilts with one bundle!
And still have a little left over for the scrap stash!
I made this quilt with one scrumptious fat quarter bundle of Kate Spain's new line, Sunnyside.

However, a Fat Eighth bundle, plus yardage, is all that is required to make one quilt.
These pictures were taken on a queen size bed.
But this quilt measures 72" x 88" and nicely fits a double bed.
Using a 4.0 stitch length, I quilted with the walking foot in straight lines across the width of the quilt,
staggering the distance between each line - 1" and 3/4" apart.
This easy pattern includes instructions for two sizes - double and queen - and has been added to my Craftsy pattern shop here!
Also..... I just wanted to help spread the news....
Marelize has changed up her Anything Goes Quilt 'n Sew linky party
It runs every Monday and will be open for 48 hours now, instead of the full week. Looking for some inspiration? Click on the image to visit and see all the great projects that have been linked up this week!
Until next time....
Keep on Quilting on!

I like the quilt design, the contrast border squares break it up and add interest - also love the policy and I'm sure its the key to actually finishing things when you have littlies.
gorgeous quilt Lorna! I love the KYSS policy. Quilting is supposed to be fun after all! By the way, I think that shade of green is absolutely the perfect sashing choice!

swa-wing! It looks awesome and it is always nice to have projects that you can get done. :)
I like this quilt and love the title. You have chosen some lovely colours.
OMG....this is a wonderful quilt! How fun was that, you used that bundle that you just ordered. You go girlfriend!!
Sometimes the simplest quilts are the best quilts. It looks great!
Mmmmwha! Great design-er!
Congratulations on you 100th post. This is a beautiful design Lorna and love the philosophy of keeping it simple. Sometime less is more :)
Congratulations for your 100th post and for your beautiful quilt. It's a wonderful design.
Congrats :)
Love your quick quilt and I have to confess, I really love the simple back - wonderful idea to Show the great Colors!
Yay on 100 posts! What a great one to share for #100. Love this beautiful quilt!
Happy 100!!! OMG on the green squares - talk about making that quilt sing. Beautiful.
A great quilt to celebrate your 100th milestone! I love the green you have chosen for it!
I am all in favour of KISS! Great quilt!
Gorgeous quilt and fabulous use of material. Love the name too!! Thanks for sharing. Marie
Congratulations on reaching 100 posts! Hooray ... and what a fabulous way to celebrate ... Love the quilt pattern!
What a great quilt! It's much larger than I originally thought. It's a good idea to make two at once and have one to give away. Like a little bonus at the end of it all.

Wow. This quilt looks amazing and not at all simple. I love the idea behind your KYSS philosophy and will definitely keep it in mind as I go forward.
What a great pattern, so simple but so lovely. I like the KYSS policy!! And I do like this new range of fabrics!
This looks fab!
Beautiful quilt. I love her new line and her old ones! Nice finish and congrats on the 100th post.
I love the colorways in your quilt. It is a wonderful pattern - simple but yet eye grabbing.
Pretty quilt - great color combo and placement!
This is "sew" pretty and the quilting is really effective.
What a lovely quilt. I love the colours and the simple pattern to really show off the fabric. This is joining my "to make" list!
Love it Lorna! What a great fabric line and it really shines in the pattern you designed. Love, love, love it!
Congrats on the finishes and the 100th blog post. I'll have to make myself a "KYSS" sign for my studio, great concept.
Adorable! Love that new fabric collection, this quilt is perfect for showing off the prints
Your color combination is so relaxing! I love it!
Very cool! Great fabric choice, and I really like the green frames. Nice quilting too!
Love it!! Simple quilts are the best :)
I'm so glad you shared at NTT, Lorna!

Congrats on your 100th post, Lorna and what a lovely quilt :)
This is the first Sunnyside quilt I've seen yet, and I love it! Great job!
Congratulations on your 100th post! The quilts are both so lovely and fresh!
What a beautiful quilt and I love the fabrics....in fact I just ordered a charm pack of it!
Thanks for sharing.

I love it! I am so glad you quilted it yourself. So many quilters where I live just pay for computerized long arm quilting and yes it looks good, but I think it isn't as personal and meaningful. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful quilt! I just love it. I will have to check out your pattern for it!
This quilt is beautiful! I love scrappy quilts and this one has such a great personality with the solid green fabric making squares. Nice finish.
I love the quilt!
I think maybe I should adopt the KYSS approach to quilting. I love intricate looks but simple would be done an awful lot faster!
Beautiful quilt Lorna!!

Hi Lorna. Would your KYSS Me Quick pattern still be available? I didn't find it in your shop and I'd like to use it for my Kate Spain Christmas charms I'll be getting from my charm swap. Thanks bunches.
