Spring can come

When I first showed Evan the fabric for the Spring Quilt, he mumbled something about having a seizure.  Which I interpreted to mean he was having a 'sensory overload'.  And then I got to thinking about how I am so very attracted to bright, colorful, crazy quilts.  I think they are the very best kind of quilt.  

I have a friend who decorated her house in black and white.  Which is quite chic and fashionable, but it makes me feel a little sleepy and bored (I'm a nice friend).  And when she comes to my house I'm sure she feels like she was just hit in the head with a giant rainbow.  So I think what I'm trying to say is that I can't help myself.  I am a fan of color.  A big fan.   And I really am glad that we are all attracted to different things--it sure keeps life interesting.


But really.  A black and white quilt wouldn't shout SPRING quite the same way as a rainbow quilt can.  That's just a fact (I win!).


And as I was sewing the diamonds together (which I was so nervous about until Evan reminded me that diamonds are just squares turned on their sides.  He is smart.), I couldn't stop thinking about Starburst Candy.  And how this quilt should be sponsored by them.  I was going to buy some for the photo shoot, but I am trying to limit my candy intake to things shaped like eggs.   So please use your imagination :)

Spring can come.  I am ready.

p.s. Evan likes the quilt.  And he hasn't had any seizures yet.  It's a win-win.
