Bloom: Take Two


One of the quilt commissions I'm working on is a request for another one of something I made back in 2017 - this Lori Holt applique pattern was lots of fun to make and my customer wants one that's similar, only in a queen size and with mainly yellow and blue fabrics for a more scandinavian feel.


I've been working on it for the past couple weeks, but decided to make ALL my applique shapes first before assembling the blocks. I'm using my glue and freezer paper method of applique, and so far it's all going pretty well. As you can see from the pic of all my pieces very carefully organized by block, I only have three more to go.

So far I've used only fabric from my scrap stash to make everything, but each block gets a double border and I'll need to shop for those fabrics. My favorite wholesaler has reopened, so I see a long-awaited trip to the fabric store in my near future!
