This is "Under the Big Top," named because a couple of the blocks reminded me of those big striped circus tents. You can read more about the construction here.

By pure chance, I saw a fabulous yellow Studebaker pickup in a parking lot, the very same color as the yellow block in the lower left corner. I was completely smitten so I left my card in the window, hoping that the owner would contact me and let me take a few photos.
The pickup turned out to be owned by a wonderful man who is a retired local bakery owner. He met me at the park this week--and had already driven around and located the perfect location. So please indulge me as this might seem more like a photo album of this luscious "citrus yellow" pickup!

Serendipity with that truck! Great pictures. I went to the Yolo County Quilt Show today and with this and the others I saw , I'm color-smacked!
What great photos. And what a kind man to let you use his truck as a prop. The quilt looks great on it. You know I love colour too, so naturally I love this quilt.
The yellow truck pics are wonderful! I love that story. Beautiful quilt!1
Another striking quilt Cindy - made even better with the fabulous photos with the Studebaker! Wish I was so creative as to pursue such a great photo!
What a super fun photo shoot. Your quilt is fabulous, and the yellow truck is perfect!
Well this quilt is definitely a head turner! I love the bright colors. Your pictures on the yellow truck are amazing.
Perfect name for such a colorful happy quilt. I really like the story about the car. You got some great photos with car and quilt together.
FABULOUS! I always see these quilters with these terrific glamour shots, but I think yours take the truck. . . er, cake! The quilt is perfect on that yellow surface--so amazing.
Awesome photos and a great quilt! Very well done :o) You get my vote!!!
