If you love something let it go?!?!

As some of you know I am really into quilting...obsessively so. It is something, along with cooking, that is the perfect de-stresser for me. Over the past year I have made over 10 quilts! My latest project was a quilt for my Mom's office. She has a massage table and has different blankets for each season. Her Christmas gift this year was a winter quilt for her table, and not long after she requested a spring quilt. Little did I know that this would become my most favorite quilt. I started with a simply 9 patch block and made it wonky...an ode to Spring's riot of colors.
Here she is...

It was a little bit of an experiment and I wasn't sure if the fabrics were going to work out together, but as soon as the first rows were sewn together I knew...and then I fell in love.
I can't quite figure this love out...this quilt is not intricate or pieced artfully, it's a jumble with crooked lines. Hmm, what does that say about love?
The whole time I was making this quilt I kept thinking of a certain E.E. Cummings poem (little does everyone know, I went through a big E.E. Cummings period). Here is the little excerpt my mind most wandered to...

in time of daffodils(who know

the goal of living is to grow)

forgetting why, remember how

in time of lilacs who proclaim 

the aim of waking is to dream,

remember so(forgetting seem)

This poem spoke to me so much so that it made it onto the quilts label!

And now, I will wash, dry and iron her. I will fold her neatly, wrap her up and take her to her new home. And I'll be a little (read very) sad to let her go but if this quilt has to be anywhere other than my own room its with my Mom. This quilt is the epitome of the saying "stitched with love".
