I wasn't going to make another free form quilt...
but the temperatures are getting warmer, the trees are blossoming
and sometimes it's just nice to whip up something fun & pretty in pastels
and sometimes it's just nice to whip up something fun & pretty in pastels
- like this 'scattered petals' quilt
trial free form block
using up the last of those lovely silky fabrics
Quilt Stats:
Inspired by the colour scheme in one Sujata's latest quilts
and based on the 'windmills' pattern from her book, Cultural Fusion Quilts.
Made from a scrappy selection of stash fabrics
including Amy Butler, assorted solids, along with a little bit of Kaffe.
edit: I quite like the idea of those petals continuing to cascade over the edge
- so I think I may just add a border

wonderful fabrics and colors. Can't wait to see the top/quilt
ReplyDeleteVery pretty !!
ReplyDeleteMy reaction, too ... pretty colors & beautiful fabrics ... soft like "scattered petals"
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the lovely comments above! This ‘free form’ idea doesn’t come easy or instinctively to me, but once you start it’s a lot of fun! Linda
ReplyDeleteA softly glowing quilt. How pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann, I’m having a little play with it now, unpicking & moving just a couple of ‘petals’ to try & help it blend smoothly! Linda
DeleteLinda. I like the name so much! Really pretty take of this pattern with floral patterns. I also like the idea of petals spilling out on the borders.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sujata! It’s a lot of fun! The actual block tends to get lost a little right in the middle, where there’s a bit of a wild flurry of petals - but I quite like that, just like nature! Linda
