Cherry blossoms, or "sakura" in Japanese, are a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and the start of spring. Marcia Peterson created a beautiful modern wall quilt celebrating these blossoms. We're posting this on Mother's Day... we hope you all have a lovely day!

Sakura by Marcia Peterson @youarelovedquilts (Utah), quilted by Melissa Kelley
The modern design features a handful of cherry blossoms, rendered with straight edges in white and pink on a midnight blue background. The negative space creates a serene and meditative work of art. Marcia Peterson says that, since cherry blossoms bloom for only a few weeks, they symbolize the transience of life. This is a major theme in Buddhism.
Sakura was machine pieced and custom long arm quilted by Melissa Kelley of Sew Shabby Quilting.
