Le Printemps

I loved taking French in high school.
Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is one of my favorite pieces of classical music.
So, it only seemed appropriate


A bursting forth of glorious colors as the sun rose this morning.


Bleeding Hearts tucking their shy blossoms under leafy green foliage.


Rabbits darting swiftly back and forth across the lawn.


Robins joining the chorus of avian choirs.

Can I just say I love this quilt?
When we were first offered the opportunity to receive free charm packs from Robert Kaufman for a Modern Quilt Guild challenge, I jumped.
Free fabric.
Such beautiful colors.

This quilt measures the size of a generous crib quilt.  Just perfect for tucking your feet up under on a still chilly Spring evening while snuggling on the couch.

Thank you, IMQG for the opportunity to create a new favorite!

    I love the yellow you used...it is far from boring white and makes your quilt feel even more spring-y :)

    It's as scrumptious as an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Nice work.
