While it's snowing in so many parts of the country we're experiencing Spring temps. Ugh - those hot Summer days are not far way. Sigh!
I've been in a Spring quilting mode lately. While digging deep in my closet I found an old Celebrate Spring Jelly Roll by Sandy Gervais and had a light bulb moment. I'd seen a quilt like this on Kerri's blog last week and she kindly shared her cutting dimensions with me - she used charm squares and I used my Jelly Roll. I really like this simple cutie because it'll look adorable draped in a spot in my home to ................ Celebrate Spring! It is my favorite season, after all. :-)
This is only my 6th finish for 2009 but I'm very pleased to say that they have all been from my stash. I've been trying to do some deep sorting and cleaning of my sewing room but I keep discovering hidden treasures and then I want to sew. LOL
Thanks for stopping by! Please come again soon!
In Friendship!

i just finished my whirly pinwheel on saturday! :)
It is so soft looking. Really sweet.
I love it! We have at least a foot of snow. I'll drool over your project and dream of spring. :)
With these warm temperatures, we are wondering if we will even have spring this year or will jump straight into summer. Not ready for that!
Lovely quilt, looks fresh and new, so like Spring!
You sure have accomplished a LOT. I have been sucked into cleaning and decluttering!
I love it! I am longing for the spring weather, send some over...
Very pretty I love the colors! Oh how I can not wait for spring.
Oh I love it! What a great twist on a coin style quilt! I'm going to have to give this one a try myself with one of my many jelly rolls hehehehe
The sixth finish? Good for you! I need to get busy. By the way...12* this morning and we've really warmed up this afternoon...to 23*.
Stop that! Stop that now! Somebody take away the rotary cutter and sewing machine!!
Can't believe all these finishes Ms. Speedy!
It's a very pretty quilt for Spring, very pretty indeed!
Spring is here, too. I've decided to just embrace it *s* Love you latest top - so fresh looking.
I LOVED that jelly roll! I got three quilts out of it last year. Six projects already done? You're WAY ahead of the game! :-D
OOhhh...I welcome your spring quilt...love it...and I just love how posts are popping up with spring themed quilts and photos...a blessing for us with a lot of snow!! It sure gives us hope!! It will be spring soon...:o)
Cute quilt!
Darlene---I love your quilt!!! I have a lot of charm (5 inch) packs that I am going to "try" to make into this quilt---I think I can do it. One more thing to add to my "to make" list!
Have a great day! I love reading your blog!
That is SO cute! Wow, I love it!
How beautiful! Did you say only your 9th finish? That's beyond wonderful! Sounds like you're putting a big dent in your stash as well. Wanna go shopping with me? Things just jump into my basket you know. (wink)
I LOVE that quilt!
Your new finish is bright and cheery, spring is coming fast. After having a bit of snow last week we are now having much warmer temperatures, the sun feels good on the skin.
only your 6th finished project. You need to sit in time out. I am still working on 1. Yes 1. I have alot of mini things going. But I do have my autistic son home, he had surgery last month on his foot & cannot walk on it. so no school.
Darlene, 6 finishes in 60 days and all from stash is mighty impressive - bravo! I love the fresh look of this one! You are definitely filling me with inspiration!
Cheers!
Ooooohhhh love it!!! Very springy.
very pretty and oh so springy to me...
yes its true we had 8 inches of snow yesterday...a shock to my system I am so ready for spring.

Oh Darlene...I LOVE it! I LOVE IR a lot.
You stash-busting woman, you - I am so impressed. How adorable is that quilt? Lovely! Does this mean that spring has sprung? I'm hopin' so!
Wow, another one finished. You go girl. It is lovely and definitely springlike.
Another pretty quilt!
How we long for spring here!
This quilt surely puts you in the mood for spring!
Wow, Darlene...
ONLY 6???? Well, but 6 gorgeous finishes! (Only? How do you think 6 is worth an "only"...said she and scratched her head...)
I've seen the coin quilt on Kerri's blog, too, and decided to make one myself ~ but you're really fast!
I love the fresh look of it...! Do you need it when it's finished??? ;o)
Hugs, Julia
I love the quilt a lot. Have seen similar once and get more and more tempted to make one myself!
Very sweet!
6th finish for 2009!!!!!!!! I have some serious catching up to do. I love this. Simplicity is always so perfect.
Only 6th finish. Harumph! I don't think I have a single one yet! This one is lovely - just like all your others. That one has been on my to-do list as well since the first time I saw it.
"Only" your 6th finish for 2009! You get a lot done, compared to me anyway. That quilt will inject a bit of springy cheerfulness.
The quilt is so soft and springing. What a great way to make a beautiful quilt from a jelly roll.
Awesome!
Looks lovely Darlene!
Oh I really love it! It is perfect for spring!
