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.

    May’s Island Batik challenge is a blog hop, so be sure to follow along for fabric and goodies giveaways. For months I’ve been debating on a design and have finally settled on one earlier this week. The collection IB sent to me for the hop is The Grove, a beautiful collection of greens and teals reminiscent of the Emerald Isle.

    Did you know that green has nothing to do with St Patrick since he is shown in images wearing blue. The Irish chose the color green as a sign of rebellion to the English Crown. They would wear green shamrocks and ribbons, or a green feather in their hats.
