Small Flower Quilt


This sixteen inch quilt was made to be given to another quilter in an exchange. The center is machine embroidery and applique called "Bloomin' Flowers" from The Stitch Connection. I have used their patterns for several quilts. The border technique is a bias folding method that I saw in Paducah. New Leaf Stitches has several patterns that use the method. I enjoyed meeting the designer and seeing her patterns.
Today I am working on the heart quilt. Yesterday I spray-basted the layers and today is quilting day.

This is just beautiful Jane. So many little details. Love the applique and the scallop border w/the buttons. I've never seen anything like that before. I must checkout those links.

I'm getting closer to doing an applique project -- well I figured out how to do it on my machine..does that count? lol

Of course, machine applique counts. I have an embroidery module and that is how I do my applique. The quilt is about ready to ship to its new owner. Just had to put on a few more buttons and a label. Thanks for the compliments.

I am so surprised that the package has arrived so soon. I am glad you liked the quilt and the notebook cover. I loved making both of them.
