I started a new quilt this week to use as a bedspread for our bed. I love working with these colors. Very different from my usual.
 |
| Now that I look at it, I should have photographed it with a vase of daffodils:) |
The pattern is from one of the older Thimbleberries books. I've made so many of her quilts, but I was saving this one for the right fabric combination. I've had that blue and yellow floral print for awhile and now I'm happy to use it.
As I said in my last post, I can't believe how fast the spring flowers are blooming, then dying back. I think we are about a month ahead of usual. The redbuds are open and the crabapples are almost there too. It's like viewing spring in fast forward!

| For some reason these pink cupped daffs haven't bloomed for a few years. It's good to see them again. |
