i love when inspiration strikes! a few weeks ago i was browsing Pinterest (like we do) when i found this quilt. a tulip quilt has been on my list for awhile now, especially since I live in Holland, Michigan, home of Tulip Time.
so i started sketching out a design from my inspiration quilt, but I decided to make my flower and stems curved to be more representative of the iconic flower.
i laid my blocks like a field of tulips, for a nice size wall quilt. now to just figure out how the quilting!?
i'm linking up with Sew Fresh Quilts for Let's Bee Social and The Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss
Jess, what a great quilt. Yes tulip time is coming soon. I live just down the road in Allegan. Small world.
ReplyDeleteCute quilt! We are waiting for tulip time here soon, so I'll enjoy yours while I wait. Wendy at piecefulthoughts@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy spring quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute quilt. We're still waiting for our tulips to come up here in the Pacific NW. They're running a few weeks late this year.
ReplyDeleteSo very cute! The tulips are lovely and the diagonal effect of the piecing really takes the whole thing up a notch.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips AND Basic Grey, so you've got a win, win quilt going on here... yeah for spring time blooms! Greetings from Germany! (backyard from another Holland)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt here Jess.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect quilt idea for someone who lives in Holland, MI! Your changes make a lot of sense...the leaves are much more appropriate now. Your color choices are wonderful! Such a beautiful quilt. Can't wait to see it finished.
