Early this spring, my friend, Debbie, shared a photo of crocuses to blanket the landscape like a colorful patchwork quilt! From the moment they emerge, their hardy blossoms dance with abandon, as it they're grateful to be leaving winter behind. Aren't we all?she took at Flowers on Fargo, a private garden in Geneva, Illinois. Each spring, it bursts into color with crocuses, tulips, and other flowering perennials. Check out the link above!
Perhaps it's the colors that drew me to this vintage Dutchman's Puzzle quilt. Do you suppose the maker had crocuses in mind when she pieced those purple triangles or was this just a popular color scheme in the 1940s?
All those triangles
poking through a bed of white
to dance their way across a quilt
sure look like crocuses to me!
