A couple of months ago O’Sewpersonal Sewing Center offered one of their weekly “colorwheel” Facebook sales bundles in Ukrainian blue and yellow. Their colorwheels contain 8 fat quarters that are somehow related, coordinated or are from a single fabric line. I decided to purchase one and use it to make a quilt.

I added the sunflowers and the stork fabric (fortuitously found on Spoonflower.com) which are Ukrainian favorites, as well as some more blues and yellows from my stash. This is another of the Japanese Hachi style quilts adding to the collection of Hachi quilts that I’ve made this year. The storks are, of course, the “unexpected visitors” in this quilt! (Look back at my November 4, 2021 post to read more about Hachi quilts).

The quilt has simple linear quilting which follow the quilt blocks. I hand quilted around the large stork near the center of the quilt to highlight it. It puffs out a bit from the quilt, which I really like. The backing fabric is bright yellow solid.

This quilt will eventually go to a Ukrainian refugee. I hope it gives them some happiness and hope.
