I have at last finished my Spring Fling quilt. I started this back in January, at an intermediate quilting course. Unfortunately I missed the last two sessions because of our move to Somerset. However, I finished the top fairly quickly after our move and have been intermittently hand quilting it ever since. Another self imposed deadline helped to get it finished and up on the wall before our weekend visitors arrived (about an hour before they arrived!)
This is by far the most complex quilt I've made and it is quite heavily quilted, but I'm pretty pleased with the result. The colours are brighter than in the photograph, but it was a bit of a rush to grab the tiniest bit of sunshine to take the photo before putting it up on the wall.

Your spring fling quilt is lovely. The colors are all so nice and soft and it mixes different techniques so nicely. I think deadlines are good for us all, even self imposed, they help us to keep moving along.
