I am doing the “Bloom Quilt Sew Along” by Lori Holt and today I want to show you my
#Bloom Quilt-Row 1!
This quilt is a block a week and we have already completed the first row:
This is a sew along with Lori Holt and I am loving this new applique technique! These are fun to put together and I love the look of the vintage fabrics! This fabric line is called “Calico Days”.
This is the first block in the quilt. I am hand stitching my applique pieces, but you could also do a machine blanket stitch or a close zig zag stitch.
This fun block is the second one that I did. I love the reds and blues in this fun flower!
Here is the third block. A double flower in this block. I have all the border pieces all cut, so when I get the applique done, all I have to do is add the borders. It is great to have everything all ready to go!
This is the 4th block! I love the colors of this block! I have actually made another project with a couple of these blocks that I will show you in another post…but I am having so much fun making them, I just had to do a few more!
So this is the first row in the #Bloom Quilt…I am looking forward to the next row! This project has been fun to work on since the weather here in Utah is still kind of yucky, at least I have something fun to work on in the house that brightens my day! :)
Hope you are having a Great President’s Day! Thanks for Visiting!
Beautiful handiwork.
I was in the middle of my homework and saw your email … I knew you would have something to help me decompress and smell the flowers. Thank you for sharing your celebrations, creations, and discoveries. I’m not a seamstress but I sure enjoy your projects.
LC, Thank you so much for writing your kind email and taking the time out of your busy schedule! It means a lot to me. I appreciate your sweet support and kind words. Hope you have a great day, and good luck on the homework you were working on! :) Rita
This is really cute. I may try a row by row this year.
Lorene, I hope that you get a chance to do a row by row this year. I love doing quilts that way because it is one step at a time and does not seem so overwhelming! Hope you are having a great day, Rita
Rita, that is truly a labour of love. Just beautiful. Mimi xxx
