O.k. so you want spring but said (and pictured) summer. Looking at the colors of the flower, my first thought was of a sun pieced like one of those crazy quilt-style flowers, the colors in a gradient pattern out from yellow in the center to an almost red-orange on the outer edge and just a touch of green in the bottom and lower right to represent the land (and the green in the photo). Go ahead and add touches of the lilacs and purple (red-purple!) in the gradient just to spice it up a bit!
Then of course I had to go look for a link to the type of block I’m talking about, just in case anyone has never seen one and what do I find but this:

…her flowers are pretty close to what I was thinking about (and her whole quilt says spring just like you wanted)! For mine it would be about supersizing just one of those flowers Velda Newman-style to make the whole quilt but better yet I think I’ll just gaze at hers and wait for the spring thaw…….
