Actually it came and went. I wrote this post last April and just finished it.
Okay -- maybe not here in Wisconsin. But for most of the northern hemisphere, it is. My guild, Lodi Valley Quilters Guild, has a spring challenge each year that coincides with Quilt Academy. A choice of three classes are offered from a long list of possibilities; it's a really big deal. I'm on the committee (I redesigned the brochure this year) so I felt more than obligated to finish my challenge for the quilt display we did with it.
The challenge fabric was this floral.
Totally not my style. But I had to use some of it. On the front. Hmmm...
I pinned a thin cotton batt to the back and stitched all the lambs' wool with Aurifil thread. Here are the finished lambs before I cut away the batting and layered it with the final wool batting.
I will post a photo of the finished piece in a week or two after the show on April 5. I might have some fun photos of the guild members then too.
Okay, this is not true. I will post the finished project sometime this month. OK. I lied again. It has been nearly a year and here it is!

So I got this idea of spring animals frolicking in the flowers. I ironed fusible web to the entire fat quarter. Then I sat at a meeting and later in front of the TV and cut out individual flowers. I made it easy on myself and used textile glue to fasten the sheep parts to the background for quilting.
