Spring Fling – Finished

It’s April, which means it can officially be declared springtime!  And just in time for spring is my finished Spring Fling quilt.

It’s still looking a little brown and dreary in my photos, but the weather in New York the past few days has certainly felt a lot more like spring than winter.  Yea!

I started this quilt back in January using Gina Martin’s Wrens & Friends collection by Moda that I got for Christmas.  The quilt came together pretty quickly but then it took a while for me to decide on the back.  I ended up using the Cream Star Bloom pattern from the collection and I am really happy with that choice.

I also added a line of scrap pieces I had leftover and I’m glad I did.  It makes the back just a little bit more interesting by doing that.

For the binding I debated what to do, but in the end decided the bright blue was the way to go.  I thought about going with one of the lighter patterns or solids, but I wanted one of the darker solids to really define the binding, so blue it was.
