What do you do?
I know, you have heard it on the news and through the blogland how much snow was dumped on the east coast.
I decided to go through my stash and decided to make a quick flower garden quilt to beat the winter blues.
There was plenty to get inspired from.
Too pretty to cut them in small pieces but good enough for 9 1/2'' x 9 1/2'' squares.
Put some 3 1/2'' x 3 1/2'' squares from the scrap bin together into nine patch.
Put them all together in a simple 63'' x63'' lap quilt.
I have some leftover 3'' squares to make the border for this happy quilt.
That was fun, quick project!
I will be machine quilting this quilt soon. Hopefully, before the month's end!
Hope you are enjoying the weather wherever you are, doing whatever you love to do the most!

Pattern is called Leafy Rosy from the book, Passionate Patchwork.

How magical are those snow flowers !! Your garden quilt is beautiful, I love the rich colours and the big bloom fabrics you've used. What a great way to brighten up the wintery days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this beauty on this snowy day - I think we got 8 inches! Take care, Byrd
ReplyDeleteThat quilt will warm you inside & out!
ReplyDeleteSnow is pretty but I sure don't miss it. Be safe & warm.
I need to make something just fun and simple like this. Hand or machine quilted?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and colourful quilt to brighten your days. Today in Melbourne, Australia, the temp is 33c with the bluest sky. But last week was terrible with temps ranging from 42c-44c for 4 days in a row!
ReplyDeleteDelightful photo of snowy blossoms and your Leafy Rosy is such a burst of summer. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch a colorful quilt. It really does make me think of Spring. Stay warm and cozy with your fabulous stash.
ReplyDeletehow luscious are those colors and flowers? I love it, so cheerful and reminds me of summer.
ReplyDeletestay warm and dry!
The greens just glow! Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteYea! This definitely chases the winter blues away. It's always wonderful to see your unique use of color. I remember this quilt pattern from Kaffe's book. I think it's the one that inspired me to learn to make quilts!
ReplyDeleteI really love how you used all those large scale floral prints!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant play of colors and beautiful blooms, perfect diversion from the winter chills outside! Lovely quilt, Sujata :)
ReplyDeletevery pretty!! think spring!
ReplyDeleteJust bought some fabulously bright fabrics myself to beat the awful cold we've been having here in montreal. Nothing like some color therapy on these cold gray days.
ReplyDeleteI love how you are fighting winter with fabric!
