spring or summer??
today temps are hovering around 80...tomorrow too...so summer can't be too far off, can it? then working on this quilt is just exactly right!
once again the camera has washed out the brightness but you can just imagine how summery and cheerful this is....quilting with the variegated thread--12 wt--is a challenge, especially threading the needle--but it's going along ok and it is making this quilt pop! i didn't think i'd like the variegated but glad ignored the hesitation and jumped right in.... there was other sewing this weekend but under wraps for now, that would be the QOV top and also the small quilt doll swap piece. busy week ahead including some much-needed house chores. takes my mind off unpleasant things i simply cannot change...sometimes have to play the ostrich, you know! it's one of those times when quilting is my oasis....

Love your cherry blossoms on the header. I know we're having summer for a few days but it "could" snow again if Mother Nature is being weird. I'm all for spring staying around. Your colors do look springy and summery.

ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect quilt to work on as we look toward summer.
ReplyDeleteWe have a chance of snow the next couple of days, so I will take hope from your beautifully colored quilt.
Your quilt is beautiful and nice and summery.
ReplyDeleteLove the bright and cheerful summery fabric in your quilt. It reminds me of one of the antique quilts from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping an eye on the weather for the next several weeks in the Hagerstown/Frederick area as I'm planning a trip. Looks promising. ;)
