Baltimore Album Quilts, Day Two (FREE Pattern)

Here is a clever use of a pre-printed panel of flower wreaths. They reminded me of Baltimore Album motifs. But, cutting them up gave me a way to set my Nosegay blocks which I paper pieced about 10 years ago. Here is what a Nosegay block looks like. I used some reproduction prints. The Nosegay is vintage and typically has a lot of y-seams. Not the way I do it!

Two block Nosegay quilt

I made several blocks and knowing I would be setting them on point, I wanted more than just a slab of fabric (though cute fabric is always successful, right?) Same blocks, same setting fabric.

Six block Nosegay quilt

Then I had even more and now it was time to get creative! I had 5 blocks and cut apart 3 large panel prints and used them to set my blocks on point. Fun, huh? This was donated to my local quilt guild for our charity quilt endeavors.

Five block Nosegay quilt

Now for the FREE pattern! This is Leslie's Album that was made using some Windham Fabrics about 15 years ago. It was published in a quilting magazine and I thought it would be fun to offer it to those who like to hand appliqué. My approach to making this was ALL by machine! Take your pick.

Leslie's Album: 31" x 31"

There's a basket, vines, half-wreaths. Lots of flowers, leaves and even sawtooth borders. Enjoy!
