A Springtime Quilt

Here's a glimpse of something I've been working on.  When it's done it will be a throw quilt.  I'm going to save it and give it as a gift to a friend later this year.  As I'm pretty sure that she's not a reader, I thought I'd share a little peak with you.  It's made out of a Moda layer cake called Spring Magic that came out a couple of years ago. 

Everytime I start a quilt, I am amazed at how pleasurable it is to take on the challenge of arranging all of those different fabrics into patterns.  I imagine that's why women have loved quilting or centuries - it's such a perfect way to unlock the creative side of your mind while making something practical and warm!
