After many distractions, I finally got back to working on my Red Bud quilt. I decided to name it “Spring Forth,” because I was captivated by the way the Red Bud blossoms pop right up out of the trunks.
Spring Forth
I got lucky with the background fabrics. Many of them had colorful dots which worked well for implying more blossoms. I love it when the fabric does the work!
As you can see, I abstracted the flowers quite a bit. That was fun!

P.S. I’m the queen of cropping. It VERY frequently improves the composition. Which I sorta noticed in the second image. I really like that composition, too.
Gorgeous! Like a package waiting to be unwrapped, layers of meaning in Spring Forth!
Thanks, Cindy. I liked the multiple meanings in the title. My talented son helped me come up with it.
Love it!
Thanks, Ingrid!
Beautiful work …. bravo !!!!
Thanks very much!
I love what you did with this–and capturing the flowers bursting from the branches required innovation! Nice job!
Thanks, Martha! (And the other part of the story is that abstract flowers are easier to make than realistic ones. Don’t tell.)
Love it! I followed your posts as you were creating this. Turned out better that I imagined. Love the colors! You’ve got a prize winner here.
Thanks so much, Sue! I’m happy with it.
