I love tulips. In fact, they are one of my most favorite flowers. Unfortunately they only last a couple of weeks. In the past I've planted hundreds of tulips in the fall anticipating a great show in the spring. As the tulips started to bloom our deer ate them and pulled most of the bulbs out of the ground. I think tulips are one of their favorites too.
Wondering why this quilt is named tulip time? Although this pattern is named tulip time, as I assembled the blocks I enjoyed the simplicity without the instructed appliquéd tulips in each nine inch block. However, I did add appliqué flowers in the outer border.

As I was quilting Tulip Time it reminded me that spring is around the corner. In Northern Michigan snow usually sticks around in April and snow banks linger. So blooming tulips is a welcomed site in my yard towards the end of April and early May.
This year it was reported that the groundhog did not see his shadow on February 2nd which means we will have an early spring. Fingers crossed that his prediction is correct. Our first snows started at the end of October.
