Sunshine Gardens .... there is hope that spring will come! :)

When I got my new machine last year, I wanted something simple to sew while "learning" my machine. I decided on a Disappearing Four Patch (D4P). For some time I had wanted to do something floral as I had never really worked with them, yet I was attracted to them when I saw florals here on the QB. So I thought this would be a perfect project while I was going thru that newbie stage with my machine!
The quilt top got made, but then it sat ... and sat. My machine and I have had many quality hours together since. The quilt top aged as I faced the old dilemma of what to do? I had no more yellow. Should a border be added with a different fabric? but what? how? I auditioned several but was never happy. Finally, it struck me that going borderless was the answer! All along, I knew the tulips would be the backing. For those that have suffered thru a long cold snowy winter (like I!) ... perhaps there is hope that spring will come! :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]466062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]466063[/ATTACH] Some random leaves for the FMQ ... I wish I could get some better pictures for you to see the FMQ. Perhaps if you zoom in, you can get a better look?

I love the yellow...so SPRING! I say looking out at 4" of sleet on the ground. Where are the Jonquils? On your quilt!

Very pretty! The florals are beautiful with the yellow and definitely springtime is in the air.
|
It's beautiful!
|
Oh, can't for spring, love your quilt! I have done border-less many times, sometimes the quilt calls for it. :)
|
Love your springtime quilt.
|
That is soooo beautiful! And what a sight for sore eyes on a VERY windy, 20 degree day! Thank you for posting!

Your quilt is SO pretty. I think the D4P is perfect for your floral fabric. Larger pieces show the full flower and smaller pieces show flowers peeking out at you.

Perfect color combinations!
Love the florals. **you know... the problem with me looking at quiltingboard... y'all inspire me for sooooo many projects. If I live to be 150, I sill won't be able to do them all. :o |
That is so pretty! Maybe there is hope for Spring- it is sunny today too.
