I am so excited to share a new finish today!!! Isn't it just so fun!!! When my good friends at AccuQuilt asked if I wanted to make a project using their new GO! Nosegay Die, I instantly thought of pairing it with the Magnolia Bud Die, I mean, they just give the vibe of a flower stand together ;) And I came up with this Baby in Bloom Quilt! And there is a free PDF Pattern that you can download right here :)
For this one I used lots of Riley Blake Basics to create the soft baby girl vibe. I really wanted to just play with the shades of color to highlight the leaves and flowers. And I just love how it came together!! Adding the pop of Yellow for the flower bud centers just really added to the concept of both dies, really bringing those flowers that extra pop.
The
Baby In Bloom Quilt puts the
GO! Nosegay Die on point, so your bouquet is standing up pretty and tall. Then it uses 4 of the
Magnolia Bud Die blocks together to create the second bursting floral block. And I just loved how they really frame up the bouquet blocks as well ;) The
Baby In Bloom Quilt finishes at 47" x 47" so it is a great large baby size quilt that is perfect for decor above the crib, or some wonderful tunny time on the floor.
And I just love that using the
AccuQuilt system for cutting makes all of these crazy shapes so easy to cut and piece. And I just love all of the clipped corners for all of the diamond shapes, so easy for getting perfect piecing even with weird angles. Below is a list of the dies I used to make this
Baby In Bloom Quilt, see which ones you already have in your die library and maybe add a few more ;)
And when it came time to quilt it, I wanted to add to that flower market feel and I figured a lovely all over loose feather design would give the feel of the vines of leaves ;) It is such a fun design to quilt as well and is so fun and fast to do ;) It really is a favorite of mine and adds so much yummy texture to the quilt!! And of course, I used my favorite
402 Pearl for the win!!
And that is my
Baby In Bloom Quilt. I hope you love it as much as I do ;) Isn't this picture
