Umbrella Fun

Like so many of the quilts I make this one started with a new die.  I bought the umbrella die and used scraps for the umbrellas.  I appliqued all of the umbrellas onto the white squares, then sewed the squares together.  






 the border is called piano keys I had a lot of the scraps that I had used for the umbrellas so I used them to make the borders.  then when I was quilting them I just sewed on either side of the seams and it produced a really fun effect
 all done ready for binding.  
Stella and Jason had just moved to Seattle, I figured that this quilt would  help with the rainy months there.  I think they really liked it.
