Thank you. I think this quilt that I made is probably the best one I've made. I know that having participated in the DQ swaps has allowed me to improve and be a little more confident in being "creative". I guess I am going to have a busy weekend and upcoming week. MIL's bday is in March so I need to come up with something for her and hopefully I can be ahead of the game! This may be my opportunity to learn how to hand quilt from start to end with a doll quilt while I'm in down mode. Thanks for the blessings too!!!

OK. Colors of Spring it is for April. I was initially thinking pastels, but then I thought about those "delightful" bright yellow dandelions on the fresh new grass, and, of course, the deep purples and yellows of crocuses. My personal favorite reflects the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Festivals - pink!
I have to share this since it always makes me chuckle when I think of the Sakura Festival. Decades ago I was pestering a friend of mine to go to the Sakura Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. He resisted and finally asked, "Why on earth do you want to go to a festival celebrating a Russian dissident?" He thought I wanted to go to a Sakharov festival! OK. I'm weird. But you already knew that.
