Springtime --- where are you?

Winter, go away ...

Well, I can certainly say, that while looking out my window today, springtime can't come soon enough. Oh, I know -- my view is spectacular, but I've had enough of winter.

So, here is a bright and cheery start to a new quilting project -- the Springtime quilt block.

Springtime quilt block

This nine patch block will give you some excellent practice sewing your quarter inch seam allowance as there are quite a few pieces. Now, having said that, there is nothing difficult in making this block. Squares, rectangles, half square triangles and flying geese units -- all basic quilt patches -- are all that are used.

I stuck with the obvious colours, derived from the block name, but you can change up those colours for a an original and totally different look.

And speaking of springtime ...

• "The beautiful spring came; and when nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also."
  ~ Harriet Ann Jacobs


• "It's easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time."
  ~ Philip Dunne


• "The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month."
  ~ Henry Van Dyke


• "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."
  ~ Hal Borland


• "Spring is nature's way of saying, 'Let's party!' "
  ~ Robin Williams
