First, it lasts a long, long time. There were daffodils in my front garden the last week of February. Various Azaleas and flowering trees have been in bloom since mid-March. And today my Iris and rose bushes started blooming. Three months of spring!
Today it is sunny but cool so I can actually enjoy the deck with the pets. Though I don't do as much in the garden as I used to today I can enjoy it with out guild as the yard crew came by and did in an hour what would take me a week!
I also rotated some of the quilts up on the wall and this little English Paper-pieced Grandmother's flower garden is now up in the wall of the guest bedroom....
The quarter/coin gives an idea of how small those pieces are! I made this quilt 13 years ago...my eyes were better then!
Spring makes me want to work with pastels or bright colors!
I have several projects that fit that requirement (like the row of crayon quilt above that is all ready for quilting or the material obsession that need binding) but I am battling the urge to start something new!
That may be part of the "spring" fever thing!

Enjoy your freshened up garden :-)
Your hexie quilt is gorgeous. There's nothing loke a bit of Spring to lift the spirits!
Oh, the flowers are so pretty. So far the daffodils are the only thing that has opened in my yard (besides a remnant of hyacinth).
Such happy projects. Wonder how long you can fight that urge? : )
The flowers are so pretty, love those Azaleas!! Such a dear little hexie quilt, even with good eyes these are not easy to put together LOL!!!
Here Autumn has arrived, but Summer is wanting to stay and play for a bit longer, we've had beatiful days lately in the late 70's Fahrenheit!!
Gorgeous flowers......Happy (long) Spring !
Can't get enough of it myself !
Wanted to tell you that I am going to have a quilt on display at the Quilt Study in Charleston in Sept.
we won't EVEN talk about the more than 20 inches of snow that have fallen here in the past week - thank gawd most of it has melted...
