I’ve started a new quilt because Spring just isn’t coming fast enough for me. It rained here this weekend, it’s raining today and rain is expected for the next two days. So I really needed to see some flowers. (I know April showers bring May flowers)
I chose a charm pack to make a quick patchwork quilt. It’s Gypsy Girl by Lily Ashbury for Moda. Lots of flowers and fun prints in this one.
I used every 5 inch square in this pack which is unusual because in most charm packs there’s at least one print I’m not fond of. Most likely I’ll pair this with a bit of polka dot and my usual Moda muslin.
I chose to go with the Orchid, Chartreuse and Navy blocks for last weeks donation quilt. This picture is a little washed out the colors are a bit brighter in person. Please excuse the gigantic cat head in the bottom right corner! LOL
I will piece this one today and find a backing so I can have it quilted by next week, maybe (still have to do my taxes).
I’m linking up with Quiltsy and WIP Wednesday today.

Gypsy Girl is a sweet line. Your charity quilt looks great.
What a nice collection of fabrics!
Perhaps your flower quilt will help Mother Nature along? It's very pretty and happy. I love the orchid, chartreuse and navy color combo. We were 76* and gorgeous yesterday and rain and cold today.
Your donation quilt looks great and I love your Lily Ashbury squares. It's so nice to see colourful photos after all the dull weather we've been having :)
I think everyone is waiting for spring!Your fabrics look very spring like!
Psssh! Quilting > taxes, right? :)
