Today is our second new pattern day and it is all about . . . Primrose and Proper!!! Making flower blocks is always fun, and I so enjoyed designing this quilt. I started with the large Primrose Flower, and just wanted to add a little something more to the design. So I started playing with the Proper flower and was super excited that when combined with the tiny flowers, that it created an secondary chain. So great!!! And it is just so happy and bright you just can't help but love it!!!
Primrose and Proper is an intermediate skill level pattern, as it covers a lot of piecing techniques! The quilt is made of two separate blocks and then pieced in a alternating layout. And those little flowers are actually in the blocks, so you don't have to worry about sashing on this one. Just an added pieced border to finish up the tiny flowers :) The pattern teaches techniques including no waste flying geese, stitch and flip corners that have nested diagonal seams and half square triangles. Lot's of pieces to make this one go together, but so worth it for how pretty it turns out!!
And for the quilting, I did some more beautiful custom quilting. I quilted the background with a tiny loop de loop, which made it easier to fill all of the nooks and crannies in the florals. Then in the leaves I did arches to resemble leaf veins. In the florals, it is a combination of feathers, curls, and pebbles. I love pebbles for making a center focal point pop!! And in the tiny flowers, I went with some echoed petal shapes. So much quilting variety and so much quilty goodness!! I just love it!!
And doesn't it just make you want to cuddle up under a tree with a good book!! I just love yummy quilty texture, it is so snuggly!!
