Snow in April

April is a fickle month.  Easter Saturday was warm and sunny.  Easter morning we woke to a heavy April snowstorm.  Snow fell all day, and by evening 6 to 8 inches had fallen.  When the skies cleared on Monday the brilliant whites and blues were nearly blinding. 

That day became the inspiration for the title of this little 12-inch square quilt.  The stars are made from the cut-off ends as I squared up Frolic!  The four corners are some spare 4-patch blocks.  And so, without further ado, we present... "Snow in April."

The last day of April I finished hand stitching the binding.  By then the tulips were ready to bloom.  Here's a glamour shot to give some perspective on how small this quilt really is.

  1. Cute little memorial mini! It's been so crazy to go from winter to spring and back again. I'm ready for it to just stay nice--we deserve it!
