Day 6- Project Quilting- final quilt

I am about a week late posting, but here is my last Project Quilting quilt.

This challenge was Hurrah for Spring!

It was a little difficult for me to come up with something as so many of the quilts that I have done for 

Project Quilting have been “spring like”. 

 Oh- are you looking for the giveaway post? Only 5 days left to enter! Click here.

So while I pondered the question all week, I kept returning to the idea of a spring, coiled ready to pop open. What could I do with that?

Finally, it was Saturday, the quilt was due and must be completely finished on Sunday and I had yet to start! Again! Luckily, it was snowing outside, so I wasn’t going anywhere. I decided that I would do a swirl of spring colors, one great big off set log cabin type block and then quilt a coiled swirl on it.

 

 I wanted to make one side the brown dirt into the spring greens. The other side of the huge block would be the flowers- pinks, since I had not used much pink yet. The white square was a last minute addition to represent the spring snowstorm we were having!

 

Then I quilted my coil. I cannot believe I quilted the lines so close!

What was I thinking?

(But isn’t the back fabric cute? I think I made a dress out of that fabric for my daughter many, many years ago! Very “spring-y”!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luckily I used the cutest Aurifil pink thread in 40wt so it sewed beautifully and showed up nicely. The quilting better show up since it took a while to do!

 

A few leaves scattered about the quilt, blown about in the March winds and I was done. Viola. Just in time. Again.

 

 

 

 

Can you say procrastination?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy quilting,
