Something New

I started a new project.  I saw the pattern Picking Petals by Carried Away Quilting on Instagram and thought it would make a great center for a medallion quilt. 



The pattern is available here.


I changed it up a little.


I made my pieces bigger and added a few extra squares to that center block.

I'm going totally Bonnie & Camille scrappy.


After studying these books I've decided to add three additional borders.


This is the first border, two more to go!


I can't believe it's April 1st.  Where did winter go?!?!?  The good news, I promised myself I could get out my Vintage Tulip quilt today! Even though April showers bring May flowers, it's tulip time around here, outside and in!

  3. Thelma, I'm thinking of you as a designer these days. You have so many good ideas that sparkle up your quilts. Please post a photo of your Vintage Tulip quilt while its out so we can view it in place. Stephani in N. TX (Tomazec@aol.com)
