First Border Quilted on Buoyant Blossoms Quilt

Stitching in the Ditch on the Buoyant Blossoms Quilt

While my machine embroidered tea towels, I did stitching-in-the-ditch on the Buoyant Blossoms quilt:

Once the stitching in the ditch is done on each section on the frame, the real quilting fun commences!

This is what the wall hanging will look like when these blocks are all put together with sashing and cornerstones:

An alternative for the corners:

If you are planning to make the larger quilt, this is what you will have so far:

We will have borders and sashing for the wall hanging and another flower block for the larger quilt next month.

Finished size for the wall hanging will be approximately 53" x 53", and finished size for the larger quilt will be 60.5" x 78.5".

Buoyant Blossoms Flimsy Done

The Buoyant Blossoms flimsy (quilt top) is done!  It measures 60.5" x 78.5".  Now to load it onto my frame and start quilting it.  (That green 'border' in the picture isn't part of the quilt; it's the rug underneath the quilt.)

Customer's Amazing Grace Quilt

I just finished this quilt -- quilting, binding, and machine-embroidering the label -- for a customer.  It was her very first quilt.  Didn't she do a nice job of piecing?

I wasn't satisfied with the last pansy block I made, so I made a new one.  Pattern to be posted later.

Nine-Patch Pinwheels for the Buoyant Blossoms BOM

Block of the Month for July 2016 --

Nine-Patch Pinwheels

 Included in this pattern set are templates, foundation pattern, and rotary cutting instructions.  I used foundation patterns, as the patches are a bit irregular in size – such as the square patch, which has an unfinished size of 3 ⅜”.  If you do use rotary cutting, be aware that EQ7 has slightly oversized the triangles, and you should square up each pinwheel to 3 ⅜”.  Finished size of each pinwheel or square will be 2 ⅞”.  Finished block size will be 8 ½”.

You will need 10 full blocks for the personal throw, plus 4 half-blocks on the diagonal.  For the wall hanging, you will need 4 full blocks, plus 4 half-blocks.  The half-blocks will be sewn to the corners of the Basket of Tulips center piece.  Using printed foundations pieces make it easy to make those half-blocks.

Fabric requirements for the nine-patch pinwheels for the personal throw:

Cream:               1 ½ yd.

Dark pink:          ¼ yd.

Light pink:         ¼ yd.

Dark blue:          ¼ yd.

Light blue:         ¼ yd.

Fabric requirements for the nine-patch pinwheels for the wall hanging:

Cream:               ⅝ yd.
Dark pink:          ⅛ yd.
Light pink:         ⅛ yd.
Dark blue:          ⅛ yd.
Light blue:         ⅛ yd.

Here is the Basket of Tulips block with the Nine-Patch Pinwheel half-blocks sewn to the corners:
