Redbud Spring

This quilt celebrates spring and the glorious magenta buds of the southern Redbud tree, which burst forth in early spring against a backgrop of light chartreuse new leaves and dark evergreen trees. The symbols used include Japanese kanji for 'spring' and 'flower', the Hebrew letter chai for 'life', and the African adinkra symbol for 'hope'.
