mething very precious for this quilt border prep for old fashioned wildflowers my husband finally got the quilt hanger up in the quilt room my daughter bought an oversized one for my birthday last fall knowing that i wanted to hang larger quilts in the guest bedroom i keep thinking we need to repaint this very pink and orange sherbet room thanks to my oldest daughter but who has time to paint this is one of three quilts i hope to hang here rotating them out throughout the year it s also the room set up for me to do my yoga so i m looking forward to enjoying these quilts from day to day who knows i might make a quilt especially for the wall of this bedroom some day in the meantime it will be much easier to say no to giving these particular quilts away i have very persuasive children wink quilt decor and here s ellie with her brand new big girl quilt from grandma she was super happy with it and wanted to carry it herself even though it s pretty big for such a little gal love that the grandkids enjoy getting quilts from me takes me back to good times when my siblings and i were fighting over my grandmas quilts whenever we went to visit brand new quilt for the granddaughter so yeah lots of work to do with all of that applique in the lineup i m wanting to finish at least one more of the quilt tops maybe two before starting in on the next bramble blooms quilt cuz of course it will have applique too three of these projects will be complete quilt tops when the applique gets done so that s exciting too excellent motivation to get stitching right written by audrey at 6 59 pm 13 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels doves in flight folksy trees and baskets giving it away joy basket ode to joy series old fashioned wildflowers ormes inspired peace always medallion saturday january 18 2025 starting january with a couple finishes this may be the brightest quilt i ve ever made whew it was a doozy to work on in fact i didn t even realize how not relaxing it was to hand quilt until i was more than halfway through i kept wondering why am i always putting off picking up my hoop cannot believe that this is a quilt made by me unreal so bright you need sunglasses i finally weathered through and wowsers does it have the sweetest just washed and dried texture i hand quilted around a lot of the flowers in the border print and that seemed like a good touch too very sweet cuddly vibe to it when crumpled this quilt was started in october of 2020 after a weekend with family at the oregon coast i m pretty sure the blue background fabrics were directly influenced by all the gorgeous coastal blues we experienced once again the hand quilting helps make the quilt look soooo much better though the quilt top has been done since december of 2021 it definitely took me a lot of time to come around to wanting to dive into the hand quilting and not just because of the loud colors the only way i could think to hand quilt the blocks was to do echo stitching around the inside of the applique ughh all those layers of fabric otherwise it probably would have had to be some sort of crosshatch pattern and that didn t interest me at all for this quilt a little matchy matchy in the setting triangles and border but who cares regardless it turned out to be a very obnoxious though deceptively sweet quilt that should make my granddaughter grin when she receives it in fact she already knows it s hers cuz she s been over here visiting a time or two while it was in the hoop she s only three but she comes over to me while i m quilting and pats it a little possessively so cute i m pretty sure she likes it just fine orphaned bits and pieces a new great niece arrived just after christmas once it settled down around here i made a plan for a new little baby girl quilt just kidding you know me i basically raided the orphaned applique totes sewed up three quick flower in a basket blocks and then belatedly started wondering about the rest of the quilt backing made out of pieces from the stash i ended up scrounging around till i found enough orphans for the center of the quilt too the leftover patches just happened to be from the older sisters baby quilt which i thought an interesting connection love the little applique blocks i decided to make four patches but totally forgot about seam allowance when cutting that made me grab the old fashioned lavender prints to enable making the 4 patch units large enough for adequately sized repeats softer looking in a crumple bit by bit i assembled the top making lots of mistakes along the way thankfully nothing that turned out to be a complete disaster just time sucking things that made me question my sanity remind me again why i make baby quilts for every niece nephew plus the greats yeah i know cuz they are sweet little critters and i love my family the quilt was turned out kinda cozy but a little dull looking big surprise all the deliberate color clashing that i just love to play with made for just way too much tension in the quilt thankfully i have tricks to fool everybody into thinking the quilt looks better than it does just add applique it s like magic wink even the rosy pink binding played a part in making it look better in the end i deliberately added the green striped fabric in the center applique which just so happened to be a match to some fabric in the older brothers baby quilt so interesting that i still had some to play with that fabric had just enough energy to play well with the rest of the quilt and take care of the dulled down factor that and the purple tulip cut down and reshaped from a bird motif basically saved the entire quilt still needs help you can see it above just before sewing the rows together i d already switched the light white squares from a busy print in an effort to lighten things up it should have been obvious right then but i m kinda stubborn sometimes especially when i m in a hurry was trying to save on postage by sending the quilt with the grandparents had to sandwich and pin 2 quilts before moving the furniture back also managed to get another quilt in the hoop this one is a little folksy a little funky and a little awkward looking which might actually make it more loveable next up in the hoop hand quilting is moving along fairly well all freehand baptist fan quilting with no marking i m having a bit of a stretch problem in this striped fabric behind the large tulip duo though it s not 100 cotton so that s my own fault it s a repurposed 3x large mechanics shirt i found for cheap at the 2nd hand store years ago just could not resist throwing it into a quilt ah well it s going to end up good enough and it s not like this quilt is going to set the world on fire right having fun with my quilting therapy and that s the only goal these days written by audrey at 2 20 pm 17 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 2025 finish baptist fan stitching crazy daisy next up in the hoop revised tuesday january 14 2025 are you still following along with the bramble blooms qal here s the third part bbiii okay i ve finally figured out how to do the bbiii part of the qal life happenings are a little uncertain around here for an undetermined period of time and this approach will best match the posting requirements from me fabric pull for bbiii bramble blooms iii prompt now that we ve established the basics of our series it s time to get more personally creative make a fabric pull whether from the original older fabric color palette you ve already been using for the qal or a bright shiny new one that feels more inspirational think about all of the elements you ve previously incorporated into your bbi and bbii quilts take the time to consider which elements have felt especially good to play with have any of these blocks motifs or color blends unexpectedly piqued your curiosity what if you tweaked them just a little what if you really pushed the boundaries and made them much bigger smaller or even potentially a lot more improv and quirky which elements do you particularly dislike perhaps it s time to drop those and move on now take out some paper and an ink pen and draw up a potential design for bbiii using any or all of the previous elements consider this a doodle not something that has to be perfectly in proportion or laid out exact as to measurement on graph paper let your ideas flow as with the ink from the pen draw one or several drawings and then choose your favorite or the one that looks most intriguing at the moment perhaps you will pick the design that your fabric pull will feel most at home with or would you rather choose the design that will feel the most challenging to combine your fabric pull with either way is totally fine finally sew up your design and get ready to see it in quilt top form you can totally do this design doodle 1 don t feel like you have to use every single element from before including the medallion layout go somewhere that feels fresh and interesting to you do keep at least one of the elements though and concentrate on keeping some similarities there this will add interest when comparing bbi bbii and bbiii design doodle 2 add applique or not in my case i am somewhat obsessed with the flower leaf and yes even the bramble ly thorn motifs so of course that s where my imagination continues to take me what if i do this what if i do that make notes for clarification rather than trying to draw a perfect design you can always come back later and fine tune the one that you ve chosen out for making design doodle 3 don t worry about the proportions of each individual part of the design and how it might all fit together properly together or not just doodle what your mind is envisioning in a very simple and basic way draw relatively quickly and let it be primitive your rough lines should easily convey the general feel of your idea as it s being created in real time because your hands are in fact connected to your brain it might feel forced or tricky but believe me this works design doodle 4 don t be afraid to draw several doodles and maybe even throw the worst of them away it actually feels really good to crumple up a terrible design into a ball and throw it away as you are drawing things will probably occur to you to that might not even fit into the current doodle finish the one you re working on and then go ahead and explore the next idea directly after if your brain feels fuzzy and sluggish because of the implied pressure to be creative make yourself draw at least one overly stilted and perhaps unimaginative doodle and then just walk away it is oddly helpful to force out one pitiful rendering rather than nothing at all let your brain cogitate and ponder over the next couple hours or even days then whenever a random qal design idea pops into your mind hurry up and draw it out on paper immediately so you don t lose it keeping the odds ends orphans just in case when you ve got a design that feels right then feel free to dive into the making part of the equation don t rush into micromanaging how you re going to implement every single little part of the quilt simply start from the center like we ve done before with bbi and bbii basically i m urging you to forget about the other parts of the quilt until you get there except for maybe assigning potential colors to those areas please don t stress to the point of positively paralyzing yourself and remember there are lots of tips for border making in this post here you can also check here for a list of all the posts in the qal if you need to refer back to other tips and tricks i might have dropped start by making the center or possibly making blocks concentrate on that alone now how does that section look and feel good move on if not fiddle with it for a bit does it need a coping border applique an addition of improv piecing remember auditioning is your friend what s next decide on the components and colors for the next phase and then sew up each and every part of the quilt as it connects to the previous portion listen to your quilt and pay attention to the feelings in your gut of something is needed or something isn t right take plenty of time for pondering if you re unsure all the leftover fabrics to date from the original 3 quilt fabric pull enough fabric left to easily make a couple more in this series it s very important to understand that your chosen doodle isn t set in stone ever consider this just a starting place at any point along the way you can change things up or even eliminate part of the design play with how to interpret your design so that it has the very personal vibe and voice of you that could be as simple as choosing out special fabric prints or mixing areas of formality with make do backgrounds it s completely up to you how closely the lines are followed in your original drawn design and yes if you really truly positively want to make up one of my designs then feel free go ahead if you have to give me the design credit of course but seriously wouldn t it be so much more rewarding to make a you quilt the tentative plan is to host the bbiii link up party sometime in the middle of june this will give five months for putting together a quilt top i will be posting about my own bramble blooms progress along the way along with any other quilting progress made around here as well as the link up time gets closer i will try to post a heads up as to the actual posting date for the third part of the qal don t know how many people are actually interested in this particular part of the qal but everyone is welcome whether they have completed bbi or bbii quilts or not lets dig into this from a slightly different approach and see where we all end up i bet some of you are going to be surprised for myself i can already see that i ll probably have to make more than one of these designs eventually sigh will probably continue to hang on to all the leftover fabrics from these bramble blooms quilts until i can get this series properly worked out of my head could be interesting to see how much of this fabric could actually be used up and how many quilts that would be thanks so much for coming along on this oldy moldy fabrics adventure with me some of you have even left a tip in the tip jar not necessary but very sweet the more i play with older fabrics the more intriguing it is to see if i can truly end up with a quilt top that looks intentional as to fabric choice and not just a sorry use it up story the resulting quilt tops from all of you has been absolutely fascinating to see i love how much personality i m seeing the random bits and pieces you ve gleaned from my tips about making your fabric work for you love it and hearing about your struggles with the process we ve all been there before or will be eventually it s all good stuff hope you ve learned a valuable tip or two in the journey to making your own very personal and unique quilts it s a lovely sweet thing to know our ...
