Spring Is Here!

A more welcome sight could not have come: the sun shining in my eyes as I awoke this morning. Sigh. I do not ever recall being so ready for spring as I am this year. Was it because we had such a dreadful February? Maybe that coupled with this ongoing pandemic - had us in its grips for way too long. 

I find myself thinking about spring cleaning. A year ago I was charged up to wash windows and spruce up our porches - I foresee these tasks being repeated soon as the days are warming up. Those rituals of spring sure make things feel good. 

And, of course, I am thinking about quilting, too. I swear I can dream up more quilts to make! The sew along - quilt along - whatever we've termed it! Spring Dreams Sew Along has been endlessly fun and I love the quilts that are resulting from those efforts. If you are considering joining the sew along, I guarantee you will find no easier quilt to make. I daresay the most difficult part will be deciding what fabric to use. Making the 9-patch blocks is a breeze, and the results are satisfying. Do it!

I still intend to try a patriotic version of Spring Dreams. I have the fabrics for it pulled, but have yet to clear space on the cutting table to begin. This coming week will likely see some action on that.

In addition to this additional version of the sew along quilt, I have been making plans for a few other quilts. As I make fabric decisions, I will be sure to share all that. Yes, at least one will involve the ever-versatile 9-patch. 

Have a great first day of spring, dear readers! Hope the sun is shining wherever you are!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
