I know it’s still snowing but this is the time of year I need a touch of Spring color in my life. Usually I pull out a forsythia wreathe that has seen better days. It looks similar to this one, except mine has been squished between the doors over the years.
I learned with my first two door quilts that because my door is a dark red, the decoration needs to be light. Thus, on the Christmas stocking the only thing that showed up a distance was the cuff. However, on the Valentine one the heart showed up beautifully from a distance. See the difference?
So, since I decided to decorate with small quilt blocks, I chose a yellow background for the Spring quilt. The quilt pattern is called Dutchman’s Puzzle, Dutchman’s Wheel, or sometimes Wild Goose Chase.
When seen from a distance, the shape really stands out. Take notice, Mr. Snowstorm…your days are numbered!
