April Showers, May Flowers: Quilting with Seasonal Prints
As the days grow longer and the earth begins to bloom, it’s the perfect time to refresh your quilting projects with vibrant, seasonal prints. At Quilt Lizzy, we’re embracing the spirit of spring with fabrics that celebrate everything we love about this time of year — from soft spring showers to bold floral blossoms. Whether you're an experienced quilter or just getting started, incorporating seasonal prints into your projects is a beautiful way to mark the change of seasons and spark new creative inspiration.
Why Quilt with Seasonal Prints?
Spring is a time of renewal, and your quilting projects can reflect that energy. Seasonal prints often feature light and airy color palettes — think pastel blues, soft greens, and floral pinks — which instantly bring a fresh feeling to your work. Fabrics featuring raindrops, umbrellas, butterflies, bees, and blooming gardens offer countless ways to tell a story with your quilt.
These prints are especially versatile. They work wonderfully in:
-
Baby quilts
-
Table runners
-
Wall hangings
-
Lightweight lap quilts
-
Spring-themed gift projects
Using seasonal fabric isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a fun way to connect your craft to the rhythms of the year.

Tips for Using Seasonal Prints Creatively
To get the most out of your spring-themed fabrics, try these creative tips:
-
Fussy Cutting – Cut around individual motifs like flowers or bees to feature them as design elements in your blocks.
-
Pair with Neutrals – Let bright seasonal prints shine by pairing them with soft whites, creams, or pale grays.
-
Mix Textures – Use different weights or finishes (like linen blends or batiks) to add depth and dimension.
-
Add Appliqué – Spring motifs are perfect for appliqué — try flowers, raindrops, or sunshine rays to create texture and focus.
Make It a Spring Tradition
Why not start a new tradition by creating a “Spring Quilt” every year? Whether it's a full-size quilt, a mini for display, or a gift for someone special, marking the season with a creative project is a wonderful way to honor your love of quilting and nature.
