Stitches in Play: Spring fever

Spring fever

"It's Spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"

Mark Twain

I've spent the last several days with my family, enjoying the first days of spring. Not much making going on. Just wanted to share my Spring Fever quilt top. Made up of 64 nine-inch squares sewn together randomly. So quick and simple and big - this thing is 68" x 68".

I love the way the breeze and sunshine passes through quilt tops. I'm glad I have this photo because once this top is backed and quilted it will no longer have this ethereal quality. A big thanks to my sweet (and tall) husband for helping.

Oh, I feel even the furry members of this family have Spring fever - and just want to run around outdoors willy-nilly.

See you back here real soon. Have a beautiful weekend!

Now that's a happy quilt! It came together so nicely. I spy a dog trying to hide behind there. Mine usually walks in front of whatever it is I'm trying to photograph -- basically wrecking the shot.
