Blossom by blossom the Spring begins. – Algernon Charles Swinburn

Has Spring arrived where you are? Here in North Carolina the tulips are blooming and that’s a pretty sure sign. The daffodils come up way before Spring decides to really take hold. They brave the chances of one more winter snow. Sometimes their prediction is right and other years they get frozen by several more weeks of winter. But the tulips are more patient and hang back til it’s a sure bet that the sun will shine most days and the temperatures will remain above the frost line.

happy tulips in my yard

If Spring takes too long, we can always count on quilts to provide our blossoms. Here are some great floral quilts from AQS Quilt Week in Lancaster, PA.
