Are You Ready for Spring Tulips?

This is a repost AND a FREE Pattern!

Here is a quilt I made about 20 years ago from some orphan blocks my editor gave to me. She said, "Go do something with these." And, I did! This still hangs in my house and I look at it each morning in small sitting room.

Three Tulips Quilt

This quilt with the peach setting triangles and borders was also a set of orphan blocks. They were appliquéd on point in the squares, so all I had to do was separate them with floral sashings and add the rest to square them up. I don't remember who I gifted this to; I hope it is hanging somewhere and being appreciated for its beauty. (Remember, I did not make these blocks!)

Peach Baskets and Blooms Quilt

 

I came across some of the artwork I created for both of these quilts. This dates back about 25 years, too! The pattern fills are a bit dated, but the flowers and appliqué elements are timeless, right?

Blooms Block #1

 

 

Here is a lovely basket block with a single bloom.

 And a third block: basket with two blooms.

Basket Block with Two Blooms

And one more quilt and a FREE pattern! Spring Tulips dates back over 20 years. Again, 3 orphan blocks that my editor sent to me and said: "Put them together!" And she became a cover girl.

Spring Tulips. 12" blocks. 22" x 48" quilt

The top and bottom blocks have been converted to simple foundation piecing. The center block is appliqué (of course). Make one. Make all three. Enjoy!
