Springtime Quilt

Have I mentioned -  it's finally spring around here and it feels so good! I'm sitting outside dreaming about my garden this year and trying to figure out if I should move some things around. Last year it was so hot that I gave up on gardening after  awhile and hoped this year would be much more fun.  
 
Speaking of  spring and all things springlike, look what I found -
 
 
 
Isn't it darling?
 
 
 
I've never really been drawn to yellow in quilts but this one was so cheerful it called out to me and so I bought it purely for it's simple sweetness. I cannot resist a classic nine-patch design either. Technically, it's a baby quilt, not a doll quilt, but it's still small and hey - who knows? If I am lucky enough to be a grandma in the future I may get to use it someday. 
 
However, this "baby" seems to have taken it over for now . . . . .

  4. Ophelia is a Maltipoo (Maltese + Toy Poodle mix). Right now she needs a good clipping so she could be almost anything : )

  7. Hi Kathleen, the quilt just looks like springtime with the yellow. Hope you are able to use it for a grandbaby sometime.

    Your jewelry is lovely. I have always wanted to make some but never really wanted to invest in all the tools. I love all of the lavender ones! Do you ever sell any?

    Have a tulip and daffodil day!

  9. I wonder, which breed is your dog. We got one that looks the same from a shelter for homeless dogs, but we are not sure about her breed. She looks like your dog. With kind regards, Caro from the Netherlands, http://www.caro-en-rob.blogspot.com

  13. This is so not you. Yellow.
    But the ninepatches make things right.
    It is a sunny quilt.
    You are ready for summer.
