It has seems like the Project Quilting challenges have triggered snow around my house. Pictures for the challenges have been so hard to come by when it snows and blows every time a project deadline is here. Today was no exception. (Maybe if I could have my project finished in the middle of the week, this wouldn't be a problem.)

Project QUILTING, Season 4, Challenge 6–Hurray For Spring!
Made by Carla in Dodge City, Kansas

Size 37"x 51"
Baby Quilt
Time was not on my side this week and I had to design something I could sew on the go. English Paper Piecing was perfect. The hexagons are scrappy spring fabrics. Applique and machine embroidery were other techniques used. Quilting is a large zig zag both horizontal and vertical which was inspired by Norma Jean at Crazy Mom Quilts.

This is now my favorite. I just love the crisp white fabric with the bright colors. The binding is so bright and fun and the ziggy quilting just makes me happy. This will be the perfect gift for a baby. If I can bear to part with it.
