Sewing Sunday

Months ago I sorted out the fabrics for the "Shades of..." journal quilts, and on Sunday I got out the yellow bag to lay out colours, for when I had a little spare time and wanted to get on with them (or needed diversion from something more urgent?) -

I didn't mean to start sewing, but somehow at the end of the day they were all done; perhaps it was the encouragment of the blue sky outside and the optimism of the spring weather -

Like the red ones, these bring to mind "sunrise" on alien planets - dark stars appearing over the horizon. Adding the black satinstitch borders might change that?
