After completing the first month's blocks for the Heartfelt QAL, I was looking forward to putting fabrics together to make the Buttercup blocks for March.

The construction was simple and before long the first 3 were done.

The last 2 were then completed quickly.

March's Buttercup blocks definitely sing of spring. 

I put the Beloved and Buttercup blocks together and I'm really happy with what I see so far.  

I'm all ready for April.  How are you coming along with this quilt along?  If you're not playing along, you might want to change your mind and join us. I can confirm that this one is a lot of fun.

When I saw the initial announcement about Fat Quarter Shop's Heartfelt Quilt Along last fall, I was immediately tempted. I've been very good in recent years at resisting these kids of temptations as I already have more than enough projects on my To Make List that I really want to create some day, but this one kept calling to me. 

This quilt would be beautiful in so many of the newest fabric lines that have come out recently but ultimately I decided to make this quilt epic (in my world) and use some of my huge stash of Kate Spain fabrics.  I have plenty of charms and yardage and finally actually sewing some of this into a quilt will feel really good.
