This weekend my grandma, mom, cousin and I made our way to Holland, Mi for the annual Tulip Time Festival. It was beautiful and we had a really nice time. Here are a few photos. If you want to see more, you should check out my flickr page. It is full of the cliche close up flower shots that I can't seem to get enough of this spring.
In the car I was able to finish up the binding on my Hunky Dory quilt. This makes it my first finish in my Spring to Finish challenge.
I must say, I love this quilt. Love it. It could be one of the favorite I have made. I really love these fabrics. They're so beautiful.
I used the disappearing nine patch pattern and sashed them using Moda Bella Solid in Weathered Teak. It is a truly wonderful color. I think it was an excellent choice and I hope to find ways to use it again.
I especially love these mushroom looking flower ones. I don't know what it is about them. Adorable.
I bound it with a purple Kona solid. Eggplant, I think. It was what I had around so it was the best option.
This quilt is now ready for a hand off to Rebekah to be donated to Children's Village in Detroit. I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do.

Beautiful tulip photos and the quilt is gorgeous! I love that chocolate brown sashing with this.
Let me know when you want to get together to hand off this quilt.
Gorgeous tulips, gorgeous quilt.
This is beautiful. I had to look at some of your other posts after entering the giveaway and I adore this quilt. Wonderful work.
Just wanted to let you know that you never know how long you will be copied. I loved your quilt so much with the weathered teak sashing that I copied you and used it on my paintbox quilt. It's still a flimsy, but I can't wait to finish it. I hope it turns out as pretty as this one.
