Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset — Lyrics to the Fiddler on the Roof seems to fit this new amazing new quilt’s beautiful arrangement of the sky’s coloring from day to night. “Seedlings turn overnight to flowers, one season following another, laden with happiness and tears.”
C Jean Horst needed a name for her quilt the same week that her grand daughter was performing as one of the village children in the high school musical, Fiddler on the Roof. Imagine a quilt to depict the cycles of life! “What words of wisdom can I give them, How can I help to ease their way.”

Elegant and definitely exceptional workmanship! An original quilt designed by C Jean Horst. Gorgeous 100% moda cotton fabrics. Note the all hand appliqued designs and do not miss the tiny little hummingbirds!! Excellent and abundant fine quilting with beautiful hand quilted feathers surrounding the central appliqué. Made in Lancaster. Copyright pattern — directions unavailable.The name is perfect for this exceptional quilt – 100% cotton using countless bright batiks to show off the colors of the day and night time skies. It is arranged by C Jean Horst and pieced and quilted by our Amish friends who love making our quilts. We love this one with it’s artistic feel and meaning. Just a perfect display of fine quilt making !!
The backing is also spectacular – the cycles of life – see the design on the thumbnail photo of the corner tag. A beauty with 8 hand stitches per inch.
