Hello Everyone,
As many of you know I was on a retreat last week. During that week I finished my Desert Sky Quilt. I am really in love with the way that it turned out too!
But as with all my quilts, I rename them because they don't necessarily look like what the original pattern was named.
I thought I would have a little contest to name this quilt. What better way than to ask my readers?
So what do you think I should name this quilt?
There will be two winners!!
One winner will receive Judy Niemeyer's pattern.
One winner will receive 6 batik fat quarters.... 2 blue, 2 hot pink, and 2 green from the fabrics that I used in the quilt.
Here is how to enter:
1. You MUST leave a comment here on THIS blog post giving me your suggestion for a name for the quilt and you must leave a way for me to get a hold of you (preferably e-mail)
That is it!!
The winners will be chosen... one will be the person who named my quilt and the other will be randomly chosen.
The giveaway will remain open through June 11.
If you like to purchase either the pattern or batik fabrics they can be found by clicking here and here.
Best of luck to all!
***This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered***

Heavenly Dream
How about Berry Burst?
Kiwi Tart came to my mind. The colors are fresh like colorful fruit slices and the points generating out from the circle centers remind me of sliced kiwi. Lovely quilt!
'Playground'
Have a nice day...keep on quilting
The starbursts made me think of dandelions so I suggest "Delightful Dandelions". Love it!
The colors and shapes bring to mind "Berry Berry Tart!"
Gorgeous quilt! I suggest naming it Glittering Jewels.
It is so pretty. How about Aurora Borealis?
Love your blog.
this reminds me of a pond with its penny sized leaves on the top of the water...I am thinking of Pennywart as the name I love how it turned out!
Your quilt, which is awesome, reminds me of ferris wheels..so my suggestion is 'summer wheels'.
What a lovely colour combo for a spectacular pattern.
Makes me think of Spring colours- cool blues, floral pinks, luscious greens.
So how about Spring Morning.
Lovely - I think I would call it 'Rays of Happiness' or maybe 'Bursts of Sunshiny Happiness'. WOuld lvoe to win these Batiks - I've never used them before but they make such a lovely quilt!
Um, Raspberry Punch?
Jolly Rancher -- because it reminds me of a bag of Jolly Rancher candies.
I'm not good with naming things but this reminds me of the sun and the spokes on a bike wheel so I'd say Sun Spokes, yeah told u I'm not good at this!!!!
Fireworks!

Hi Jackie,
for me this wonderful quilt looks like "Splish-Splash". The feeling of summer, water and ice-cream.
How about Burst of Flowers?
Hmmm.. My first thought was "Caribbean Stars" The colors remind me of the colors you see when visiting in the Caribbean. Of course it could be "Caribbean Burst" instead of stars. It does look a bit "bright" for a the night sky. But then there is always creative license to consider.
Painted Desert Sky sounds good to me. Beautiful fabrics. Thank you!
This quilt reminds me of our spiked watermelons.. take one water melon and cut one 2 inch triangle in the flesh take one bottle of vodka and over the next week slowly pour the vodka in the watermelon replugging each day at the end of the week you have one very spiked watermelon and lots of fun eating it on the beach where you can't take alcohol heheh so its Spiked melon for my pick Cheers annuello1@yahoo.com
The first thing that comes to my mind is "Cotton Candy". I always love the colors that you pick! - Andrea Diamond
Berry Burst
"Burst of Joy"
Sunshine & Shadows! pretty quilt.
mystica123athotmaildotcom
Starburst is my suggestion!
Starburst - and it is a beautiful quilt. Thanks.
Celestial explosion. What a beautiful quilt.
It is beautiful and the colors remind me of fruit. How about Fruit Salad?
I don't know why it just reminds me a "Burst of Sunshine" in the morning. A bright sunny day.
It looks beautiful and I think this give away has two great prizes :)
Karen
My first thought when I saw your quilt was, it looks like splashes of sherbet ice cream. So the name should be "Sherbet Splash". You did such a beautiful job, I love the colors you picked. ;-> Toni Anne
Beautiful! Those are such vibrant colors and they read tropical to me. So, I would call it Tropical Sky or Tropical Berry Burst.
My thought was 'Starry starry sky' even before I had read any of the text. So the 'sky' in the original title was appropriate!! Now I've got that tune in my head that starts with 'starry starry night...' I can hum it but when I get to the chorus I draw a blank... What was it again? ooooh....
How about Summer Starburst!
Sherbert Under the Stars. Sherbert Nightcap. Did I wake up hungry???
Laffy Taffy - or Penny Candy! (So many of your quilts look like sweets to me - your dentist must love you!)
Love this! Jolly Rancher came to mind for me.
Oh man, someone suggested Berry burst already.. summer burst?
For some reason I think this quilt wants to be named "Julie".
Gorgeous! What about Fruit Pops?
I would name it "Candy Delight".
Hi Jackie Love the colors and the quilt I'm just bedazzled soooo
I'd call it "Bedazzled Berries"
So great that scholarships and honors have been bestowed!! Congratulations
I like Kiwi & Berries. Such beautiful colors ...
I would call it Jewel Quest. The colors remind me of gemstones and the Mariner's Compass motif suggests a journey or quest. Thanks for the fun contest and a peek at your beautiful work.
Summer Jewels - It is a BIG winner, love the colors you used!
How about Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II?
Beachy Morning...it remonds me of a beautiful morning by the sea...thank you...it's a really fun quilt!
boppiesgirl@gmail.com
Fruit Salad. Looks like berries and watermelon, and more delicious fruit.
Flamingo Lagoon - that's what comes to mind when I look at your color combination. Gorgeous quilt!
Gorgeous. How about summer memories Reminds me of all the fun of summer.
Good Morning Starshine.....a favorite song of mine. I love the cool clear colors in this quilt.
"Ocean Rays", "Jungle Gem". I think the colors look like the ocean or gem stones.
The first thing that came to my mind was Starburst, but I see that was already suggested. So my next thought was Firecracker.
What comes to mind at first sight is Starburst....BUT that has been taken...so how about RAZZLE DAZZLE!
It is a little difficult to name it from Danish to english , but i vill try anyway, because of the gift 😃
For mé it looks like" diamond in the sky" because og the shining star... So that it my gues...
Have a Nice day from Mette Olsen Denmark
Www.framettesunivers.blogspot.dk
Love your quilt! the colors remind me of all things tropical ... summer time ... how about Summer Popsicle?
Liming It Up!
or Limed with Berries
What a wonderful quilt. My idea of naming is: "Heaven and earth", because I see blue for the sky, green for the nature an red/pink for the hot sun.

Love this quilt...keep looking at the pattern to buy myself just haven't gotten up the nerve knowing it would be a challenge for me. Yours turned out lovely!!! For a name I asked my 8 year old daughter and she thought peacock circles but we tweeked it a bit and we thought with all those bright colors parading around the quilt PEACOCK PARADE seemed to fit! Good luck.
It's so pretty it doesn't matter what you name it but, if it were mine, I'd probably name it Caribbean Sunrise as a hat tip to the original pattern name.
It makes me think of bubbles so 'Bubbles'.
I love your colors. I would name it Rainbow Sherbert if it was my quilt.
Venus Crossing the Sun. We had an historic event this year as Venus crossed over the sun. I absolutely love this quilt. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration! cbee at inbox.com

Being a south Florida girl..my first thought was"Trade Winds"...great name..Huh???
Beautiful..Enjoy it..!!
I love this quilt. Your color choices are perfect. Looking at this quilt makes me smile, feel good and be evokes a feeling of happiness. I'd name it Happy Dance!
Beautiful Quilt! I think it looks like a "Sherbet Explosion"
I love your colors in this quilt. I think I would call it "Radiant Sky", to keep it in sync with the original name. Thank you for the great giveaway.
I LOVE the colors! You have such a gift for mixing colors just right! I think it should be called BOKAH SUMMER SKY !!!
pollyjo at embarqmail.com
Thanks for the opportunity!
My name is " Blue Morning".
Stunning quilt and yummie fabrics.
"Watercolor Dreams" seems to fit. Love, love, love the quilt. :)
Popsicle Summer! The colors look like all the flavors of popsicles - the most awesome hot-summer-day-treat I can remember as a kid! The spikes are what you get when you can't quite eat it fast enough and one side falls off and "splats" on the sidewalk :*)
Blooming Sun, or Burst of Happy. Its very pretty this quilt is on my bucket list. I think I need to move it up to the top.
What a gorgeous quilt!! How about Bali Stars.

Starburst Eclipse is what I think of when I look at your gorgeous quilt. Love the color combos.
Name it "Bright Sky In Your Eye"
bsburgess@comcast.net
Tutti Frutti
I'd call it Sherbert Fireworks because they are sherbert colors but the pattern is reminiscent of fireworks.
I'd call it Hot Sun. And I'd kill for some of that fabric.
Well my quilts always have very uninventive names! LOL I guess I am just not tht creative! But I will give it a try! How about "berry Pie"
When I look at this quilt it reminds me of a celebration of color! How about "Berries Jubilees"
Ohh, this quilt looks like Bursts of Joy! to me. Lovely!
Caribbean Dreams
Razzle Dazzle
When I look at this quilt it reminds me of "Summer in my Heart"
I was thinking of "Cactus Burst" when I saw it. Beautiful quilt!

Wonderful quilt!
How about Tropical Punch
or Starburst Sensation
or Fruity Fascination
or simply Fascination?
Lovely work on the quilt! I think Mirage would be perfect! I adore the pattern and love batiks! thanks!
The first thing I thought of was Sunrise Over the Ocean--or Ocean Sky---just like I saw when I was on Hilton Head Island...the quilt is just beautiful....
I like the name Mood Reflections. It's very soothing.
It reminds me of the little umbrellas that come with tropical drinks. Maybe something like "tequila sun rise".
Flower bursts is what it says to me.
It's so beautifull. It amazes me how I love a quilt with colors I would never have the nerve to put together.
I think I'ld call it fruity sky.
It's stays close to the original name and the colors made me think of fruit salads immediately.
Dutch hugs
Sherbert Burst!
Man, these colors are yummy.
I like 'Sherbert'. . . . it reminds me of Berry and Lime Sherbert. Either way it turned out beautiful Jackie! :)

Good Morning Sunshine, would be my name. It reminds me of a vison I would have when playing the Aqua song. I think of the sun bursting through the clouds. The song is about love, and you put your heart into the quilt, as it is fantastic!!! Love your colors
I was going to say Aurora Borealis... but I see someone put that. What about "Aurora's Delight" or "Aurora's Northern Lights". I was also thinking about the Mirage that just occurred over lake Michigan. We could see Wisconsin's lights in Grand Haven, MI, 80 miles away. "Mirage Sorbet"
Beautiful!! My first thought was Spin Art. It reminds me of that toy that you put paint in and then spin.
My second thought was Merry-Go-Round.
I didn't read all the comments, so I don't know if this has already been suggested, but what about "Starburst?" When I look at the bright green color, it makes me think of Starburst candies. And with the big "suns" or "stars," it seem sot fit. Thanks for the chance to win!
So beautiful "dancing rays" is my name. I would love to win.
I think it should be called 'Summer Sparklers! Like the sparkler fireworks for kids. Love the colors! Great job. Toni
Coming up with a name is not my forte but when I saw the last comment I decided it reminded me of fireworks so I suggest "Fireworks." So many good names to choose from. Good luck!
I'll play. I would call this quilt Exploding Spring.
Summer Sorbet immediately came to mind. All those lucious colors.
For some reason, this reminds me of summer fruit salad, so I would name it "Fruit Salad." Not very original, I know....The quilt is gorgeous, btw!
