Here Comes the Sun Dogs by Sharon Scottt

'Here Comes the Sun Dogs' by Sharon Scott for the Focus Through the Prism Challenge


This Cherrywood Focus Quilt Challenge piece is called 'Here Comes the Sun Dogs'. I love the song Here Comes the Sun but in this case the piece is inspired by the only time I have witnessed Sun Dogs on a cold and bright winter morning the day our Granddaughter Josie was born. 


This is the first time I have actually sewn with Cherrywood Fabric despite having a bundle stashed away for “someday”. I love the amazing feel and they seem to reflect more light when I quilted them. 



I quilted with a varied wavy line and then accent quilted the center pieces using a Superior Thread that is Golden/ Copper toned but isn’t a metallic. I really enjoyed the process.



I have always enjoyed the variety of sun designs on the CBS Sunday morning program and I thought that the Monkey Wrench design would be a non-traditional Sun shape and could frame the SunDogs center.
