I am so excited to share the final quilts in this fun little series we have been doing!!! This is quilt 9 of my Charming Baby Quilts Remix's and I just love it. And here it is . . . the Just Blooming Remix quilt!!!! Isn't it just so pretty!!!!
I just love a chain design, and when it is over a lovely queen size quilt with little blossoms popping out of the chain, well that is just wonderful!!!! I remixed the original design by simply making it 4 times and that made it Queen Size finishing at 96" x 96". Oh, and I also added a dark background that is actually a print. I loved the white's in this line and didn't want them to fade into the background, and this taupe print did just the trick!!! (Pattern Adjustment's here)
And speaking of the original, here is my Just Blooming quilt from
Charming Baby Quilts. And even though it looks like there are a ton of tiny pieces, I include a fun fast way for sewing them up with charm packs. So whichever size you decide to make, it is just so great to make up the patchwork chain and blossoms!!!!
For this Just Blooming remix, I used
Strawberries and Rhubarb fabric by
Fig Tree & Co. for
Moda Fabrics!!! You will need 6 Charm Packs of your print and 4 of your Background
I used the 20407 16, the tape dot, for the Background and I am so happy with how it adds so much garden goodness to this quilt :)
And when it came time to quilt it, I decided I on all over loose feather. The main reason I decided on this was because the long arm was having a bit of an issue, and I know this would be the easiest to quilt on it. After dealing with breaking threads for a while (and later discovering my bobbin had a burr in it) I was able to get this all quilted. And I just love that it has the added effect of vines trailing across this garden goodness!!!
It also has the wonderful effect of amazing texture!!! I just love adding so many curves to that patchwork chain, it just adds another dimension to the quilt. And this design is also loose enough that it will still be super snuggly!!
