This week’s Project Quilting challenge was Sunrise/Sunset. As soon as I saw the theme I knew what I wanted to do. It had to be something related to Fiddler of the Roof.
I love musicals and the song “Sunrise Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof is one of my favorites. So without further ado, I present to you my mini quilt “Swiftly Flow the Days”.
This quilt finishes at approximately 16×24″ and uses my crazy quilting technique for the background with raw edge applique for the silhouette.
This quilt is my 3rd FMQ project. I’m pleased with how the top looks, but am having some tension issues with the thread, so the back leaves a bit to be desired. It’s all a good learning experience though.
Be sure to stop by and see the rest of this week’s Project Quilting projects.

This is so great! Great colors. Awesome detail. For FMQ, keep playing with your settings until you get them just right… then take pictures of the correct setting so you can easily set the machine up for FMQ when you need to.
Thanks for the tip Sarah! I’m having issues with the tension, so I hope I can get it figured out soon.
I love your interpretation of the theme! Now guess what song in stuck in my head. No problem; I like it.
So glad you stopped by. And I’m glad I could get a song you like stuck in your head- much better than one you don’t like.
That is gorgeous! Nice work, and a lovely interpretation of the challenge.
Thank you! I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m looking forward to seeing all the finished quilts this week.
Awesome, Andrea!
Thanks O! I hope you’re enjoying this warmer winter weather we’ve been having.
Great quilt. So glad you are participating. I really enjoy seeing what you come up with!
Thanks so much! I’m having a lot of fun quilting along and seeing what everyone else has come up with.
I love the way you used the inspiration for this quilt- musicals are awesome! The colors for your sky are fantastic!
Thank you so much Cassandra! I hope the next challenge is as inspiring as this one was.
I LOVE what you’ve done here! It looks fantastic and your crazy quilting makes for a wonderful textured background.
Thanks for joining in the fun again!
Thanks so much Kim! I’m so glad to be participating in this season of PQ. It’s been a great way to get some sewing in between working on my larger projects.
Great work… I’m always amazed by quilters who make art quilts! I need patterns and straight lines to make things look good!
Thanks so much Jenn! I love quilts with straight lines, but find them a bit fussy at times, which is why I’ve gravitated to more abstract and art quilts.
Beautiful. Did you freehand the silhouette?
Thanks Natasha! I did freehand this silhouette.
Beautiful work. You astound me with your amazing technique!
Thank you Essence! I’m not sure that my technique is that amazing, but I am always trying to improve.
It looks really nice, I like the silhouette on the scrappy warm background. Well done!
Thanks Maryse! I enjoyed making this one and am looking forward to the next PQ challenge.
Cute! You’ll get the tension right with practice. It looks awesome from the front.
Thanks Megan! Hopefully I’ll get it figured out.
