From this to this

 
This is a portion of my quilt City Lights while on the design wall; this quilt is on the cover of my book City Quilts, shown here:

The idea behind the quilt is downtown buildings at night, when the city is dark, and buildings are lit from within.  The Kona pale pastel solids used throughout the quilt create a glowing effect.

It is my personal policy to not wish time away, but I can't wait for May 17th...the day my book releases!!!

Cheers,

Cherri

I'm so happy for you! Another book.

I know what you mean about not wishing time away. I follow that policy, too, but sometimes it is hard, isn't it?

Absolutely beautiful... we used to live in Houston so I'll be looking at the quilts and looking for familiar places, too!

So beautiful Cherri!!! Sorry to hear about Melissa! I hope she’s doing better now. I’m thinking of you and your family! Hugs and take care!

So beautiful!
I will definitely be on the lookout for this book!

I ordered "City News" and "I Do" from you earlier in the year and am about to start on "City News". I just finished my first simple quilt over the holidays (I have been working on it since April!!) and feel confident enough that I know what I am doing now. Thanks so much for your beautiful work and designs...they absolutely were the inspiration for me learning this craft that has become such a part of my life.

It looks wonderful! I too hate wishing time away (I've done way too much of it in the past) so good luck finding things to do in the meantime - I'll bet you've got a couple on your plate! ;-)

I can't wait for this book. It is so inspired. I just bought the city park pattern and love it so much and am going to do it a couple of different ways. You go Cherri!
