Spring is in the air….
by sarah
A girl can dream, right!? We have had such a long winter (it sure feels that way, anyway) that I am SO looking forward to spring. So the name of this quilt is very fitting and I can’t wait to display it in the shop for everyone to see.
So, yes we just got this quilt finished and I couldn’t wait to show you. We used the Brandon Mably, Spring Design roll and a pattern called the Friendship Braid, from this book, and I love how it went together!
Don’t the colors just POP against that black! I just really love how it turned out. Mom quilted it with the pattern called sticky buns (so cute) and I think it fits the quilt nicely.
Well, today I am off to take my kids to the Dentist. (yes, ALL of them) It’s gonna be fun. Wish me luck. I really think I am gonna need it.

I love braids. They are fun to make and always beautiful. Love how you paired it with the black.

I love the really bright colours. They look really good with your new bright blog background. Definitely brightens up the winter

Thanks for the idea – I took it and tweeked it to make a baby blanket with Moda oreo jelly roll and Bali Batiks charm pack. The mom-to-be does not like pastels really at all, and I think the black will really help pop the colors like on your quilt. Thanks again for all the wonderful ideas.
