Whats under my foot

Both of my Bloomers quilts have been quilted and bound. For one quilt I used Hobbs Poly-Down and the other Hobbs Cotton, what a difference between the finishes. While both quilted beautifully there was a clear winner after they came out of the dryer, cotton batting.

Note to self-don’t use a batting with even the smallest loft for applique quilts.

Since making these two quilts I have added 2 more flower blocks and a bee. You can totally make this an elegant quilt full of flowers by leaving the birdhouse, butterfly and bee off. The bee and butterfly can be used in a block for the quilt center or placed somewhere on the border or on a hexi for a fun playful finish.

Now I am thinking of fabric for a 3rd quilt.

    The first Island Batik Challenge of the year will be a Log Cabin quilt and blog hop using one the soon to be released fabric collections. Because I’ve already made 3 of my Log Cabin Tree of Life quilts it’s time to come up with a new design. Sooo, my mind is on overtime trying to outdo the Tree of Life pattern. The first IB box of the year is scheduled to be delivered today, so I’d like to make a design decision before Friday.
