Squeezed in a couple hours this weekend to work on my Crafted Applique (affiliate link) project after leaving it in this state for days.
Now I have a background of blocks,
and a start on making flower petals.
I'm thinking one more round of petals, to balance out the size of the center hexagon. Hope I've processed enough fabric for that! First though, round 1 and 2 need cutting for all the other centers.
I'll update again on Wednesday for Midweek Makers. See you then!
Have a wonderful day quilting!
After many days quilting and pattern writing, my next beauty is here! Double Jumble Butterfly.
This is the sister quilt to my Double Jumble Turtle, that's why Double Jumble Butterfly. And it's just as adorable as the turtles! Both of these quilts are available as pattern downloads from my Etsy shop.
I'm really loving the versatility of this pattern - there's so many options in color schemes and appliques.
The butterfly on this one is so sweet in pinks and purples.
The quilting is again a pantograph in the block area, this time Easy Peasy, with double cross hatching in the open band. Yummy!
Can't forget the back on this one, since the quilting is visible. More yumminess!
The patterns for these quilts include detailed instructions, fabric color lists, and the necessary applique templates. For those who are just interested in the applique templates, those can be downloaded separately.
As for me, I may make one or two more, that's how much I love them!
Cheers to another finish! This time it's my own creation, Double Jumble - Turtles
a versatile pattern adorned with applique turtles. Aren't these guys adorable?
Yep, the Flip and Fuse Quilts (affiliate link) book has changed my whole perspective on applique. Now there are limitless possibilities. Not that there weren't before, but fusing with interfacing has really opened a new door in my quilting journey.
I designed this quilt with easy to piece blocks - with no seams to match - making the top come together quickly. The added band gives the appliques a place to shine. As does the quilting. In the block portions is my favorite Bluster pantograph,
and contrasting straight line stitching in the band around the turtles.
This quilt turned out so cute, that I had to make another with a different applique. No pictures to show on that one at the moment, but it should be finished up this week.
But the complete pattern for Double Jumble - Turtles is available in my Esty shop. The turtle appliques are also available as a separate pattern at Etsy for a quilt of your own making.
As for the flowers for Crafted Applique (affiliate link) they're still waiting their turn. Seems I've got a bit of an applique face-off going. Which technique will win?
Have a great day quilting!
