breaking for Spring

We've been enjoying spring.  Greg had several days off and we spent them playing with good friends, eating yummy food, and enjoying a lovely Passover sedar.  

Today I finally found a bit of sewing time. 

One flowered quilt top done.

I used this method to piece the squares and tried not to over think the fabric placement too much.  I basically divided all the flowery squares into two piles - one with predominately greens and blues and one with more pinks and oranges and then I grabbed one from each pile and chain pieced them together.  It's all done now and I'll take photos tomorrow, once the sun comes out.

And I've been trying to capture all the beauty that seems to be popping up everywhere this week.

Welcome Spring!

ooohhhh, I'm so jealous of your beautiful flowers. It's still fitfully snowing here. I'm also looking forward to seeing your new quilt. You are SO prolific. : )

Such beautiful photographs. Hope you had a wonderful Passover celebration. I used to love celebrating Passover at my grandparent's home as a child.. so many traditions and memories.
Warm wishes, Tonya

I'm loving all the blooming things you have around you, and I'm loving your new quilt top, too! Enjoy the springtime fun. The sun has finally come out here, and the temperatures are climbing--time to get the broccoli into the ground!

So jealous of your blooms. I am patient, but chomping at the bit at the same time.

Gorgeous fabric as always.

Gorgeous blooms everywhere! I miss my rhododendrons and dogwood trees. Oh, well. I have Chaparal now - but it isn't the same - LOL

I want to come play with your fabric. My stash is small and not very inspiring because of it, but I've been reluctant to let it grow too much. Sure does look like fun though.

just discovered you blog - it's wonderful! Thank you for all of the tutorials...I'm inspired to quilt more!

I've been seeing more and more color popping up this week outdoors, not quite as much in your town, but we're getting there. Can't wait to see your quilt, the fabric looks very pretty. I want to make a patchwork quilt one day of lots of my favorite fabrics and not think about the placement at all, very random.

Beautiful flower shots, Larissa. That sounds like a well-planned but not too planned quilt plan! I look forward to seeing the end result!

Gorgeous photos Larissa. Wow. Looks like you have been enjoying some gorgeous weather, and it looks like a peaceful time.
