Shimmer

  

With the afternoon sun behind them and each branch-to-twig ice encased, my lilac bushes are  shimmering.  Did a quick google search hopeing to find some shimmery white quilt fabric, but the closest  I could find was this Robert Kaufman Fusions. 

With the blue of the sky what a lovely quilt this would make -- but blue is my favorite, and I already have a blue & white sampler lap quilt.  Then again, can anyone have too many blue & white quilts?



Maybe just a touch of green in one of the blocks, or a narrow green inner border to hint at a coming spring.
