Saturday Sunbeams

We've had some dark and rainy days lately. To ward off the rainy day blues, I've been sewing some sunbeams inside!

I've started working on what I hope will be a wall hanging for my dad. I'm not sure if this is "it" or not but I do like this sunburst block. 

This is a paper pieced pattern that I found in one of my old quilting magazines. These are my practice blocks so I wasn't being too picky..meaning my seams aren't all perfect!! I'm still getting the hang of curved seams. 

I'm finding that the bigger curves are MUCH easier to deal with!

I really like how the inner circle turned out! It's supposed to be a solid piece but I used up a bunch of my tiny scraps instead. I'm thinking about seeing how some triangles would look on the inner circle.

I'm looking forward to making some more of these! I need to decide if I'm going to make one center sunburst block and add borders around or if I should make several sunburst blocks for the wall hanging. 

I'm going to think about that later, the sun is finally shining. Time to go outside!!
