"A" is for April ~ I like April
I like the showers and the flowers of April.
Today is rainy and will below freezing again tonight.
The colors are amazing ... blue to deep purple to almost pink ...
with yellow to orange to red in the centers ...
and those tiny green shoots.
Such a little flower ~ So beautiful!
Like a rainbow.
The quilt block is a new start for April.
These fabrics and this book has been in stash for some time
and it is time to sew something with them.
I have decided to unroll this rainbow jelly roll
and sew one alphabet block a day in 26 different colors.
for the
#AtoZchallengeQuilt
I like a new blog challenge.
I am joining in this April fun:
hosted by
Frederique @ Applique Patchwork Quilting
where I learned today that
"A is for abat-jour which means lampshade in French."
There are also several links showing how to make a DIY Fabric Lampshade cover.
I once covered an old lampshade with some scrap fabric.
Just for fun ...
... here is my lampshade ... :)
It was made in 2011 with extra fabric from making this favorite bed quilt.
Sadly, this lampshade was accidentally ruined when it was bent beyond repair the time one of my kitties knocked the lamp to the floor.
The quilts are worn but still quite lovely.
This small quilted A-Z Challenge is part of a much larger

I love all your A! Pretty lampshade and great appliqué tuto! I will try one day, appliqué by machine is still a mystery to me ;)

The crocuses are beautiful! Good luck with your challenge!
I love crocuses, too, especially the purple ones. Your Spelling Bee quilt is going to be fun! Have a good time with the A to Z challenge!
I think you get an A+ for this post! The crocus are so pretty, and clever idea using the ABC's for the challenge!
Great post. I like the contrast in that applique pillow. Very eye-catching.
I just looked through your alphabet blocks.... and posts... so clever and fun. I love buttons too, and that jelly roll idea, and the kitties...
Been watching your letters, love the jelly roll you are using. The pillow you added the applique to is awesome too. Love crocuses a huge splash of color.
