Flower Sugar B.F.F. Quilt {Giveaway}

finished quilts· quilt pattern

23 Jun

 

Update: Giveaway is now closed. Quilting Tangent won the bundle. Thank you all so much for playing! I really enjoyed reading your favorite flowers. With each favorite I found myself in complete agreement. I love flowers!

__

Hi all!

 

Last Fall, I had the privilege of making a quilt for Lecien’s Quilt Market booth using the Flower Sugar, Fall 2015 collection.

 

BFF_1_Watermark

 

Flower Sugar has long long been one of my favorite fabric lines and seems like a perfect fabric to use in my B.F.F. quilt pattern. The fabric is just so perfect for this vintage inspired quilt pattern.

 

Flower_Sugar_BFF_White_Watermark

 

With sashing, the quilt finishes at 78” square, and the quilt pattern itself offers 4 other sizes.  This version shows solid arcs, but there’s also an option to piece the arcs as shown in this version.

 

BFF_2_Watermark

 

Lecien asked that I incorporate solids into the quilt, which is just fine with me! I really had a lot of fun matching the solids to the fabric.

 

BFF_3_Watermark

 

Printed_BFF_Cover_Back

 

The quilt pattern is available in my shop as a PDF or a paper pattern. If you are a quilt shop and would like to carry my patterns, you can purchase wholesale directly from me or through Brewer, Checker, or United Notions.

 

Bonus: Subscribers have access to a FREE coloring sheet for the B.F.F. Quilt Pattern. Click here to subscribe and get your copy!


If you make your own version of the B.F.F. pattern, I’d love to see it!!

I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has n I don’t know about you, but for me, quilting has never been about just making quilts.

It’s about slow mornings, quiet time to myself, creating something with my hands, spending time doing something textile, not scrolling on the internet, spending more time creating and less time consuming...

And I think that’s exactly why so many people are being drawn to quilting today.

You want to get offline, learn something new, and have more quiet time that is just for you and your imagination. ✨

I think we could ALL use more of that in our lives, and if you want to give it a try, I’ve got a free class you can sign up for by commenting ‘FREE’ below. 💕

I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last de I’ve taught thousands of quilters over the last decade, and I’ve been quilting myself for over 15 years, and this is what I’ve learned. ⬇️

What’s stopping you from quilting isn’t that you don’t want to do it. It’s because you have already convinced yourself of something before even giving it a fair shot. 

You’re probably thinking something like...

👉 “I don’t think I’m creative enough.”
👉 “It looks too complicated.”
👉 “I wouldn’t know where to start.”
👉 “I don’t have enough time.”
👉 “What if I spend all that money and I’m terrible at it?”
👉 “I’ve never been good at sewing.”

If any of those thoughts have crossed your mind, can I let you in on a little secret?

Almost every quilter I know started with one of those ideas in their head, including me. 🤫

The beautiful quilts you see today didn’t begin as beautiful quilts, they began as just an idea and a willingness to try.

Nobody sits down at a sewing machine and automatically knows how to quilt.

You learn by just doing it, sewing stitch by stitch, and every time you enter your sewing room, it gets a little bit easier, and you start to enjoy it more and more. 

If something has been holding you back from quilting, I invite you to take my free class where you have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free clas Comment ‘FREEZER’ if you want to take my free class and learn this amazing technique! 👇

Freezer paper piecing tip number eight is to press every seam right after sewing it. 
 
Don’t wait until later or until all of your blocks are done. Press those seams right away!

It might feel like it slows you down in the moment, but it actually saves you time (and frustration) later.

When you press as you go, your seams stay crisp, and your pieces lay flat, which makes lining everything up so much easier. You’re not fighting bulky seams or trying to “fix” things at the end. 🙌

Plus, pressing helps set the stitches and keeps your fabric from shifting as you build your block.

Think of it as part of the sewing process, not an extra step.

Your blocks will be flatter, sharper, and way more accurate… and your future self will thank you!

MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅 MAKE A TEST BLOCK!!! Please, I am begging you. 😅

You’d think after 15 years of quilting I’d be able to skip it...

And every once in a while I convince myself that I don’t need a test block because I’ve made this block hundreds of times or my freezer paper piecing skills are good enough to skip it... 

And do you know what happens every time I convince myself that I don’t need a test block? 🙃

I almost always regret it and end up having a nice long date with Jack The Seam Ripper as a consequence. 

Learn from my mistakes so you don’t have to learn from your own and make the test block EVERY TIME!!!

Are you making test blocks? Tell me in the comments! ⤵️

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we’re nearing the final months of Dutch Summer! 🥹

Finished Dutch Summer Month 6 blocks are showing up in the Make Modern Triangles Club every day. We’re past the halfway point, and we’re really starting to stack up the blocks! Now that we’ve got a bunch of stacks of blocks, it’s such a fun time to play with arranging your blocks and see what your creativity comes up with. ✨

Once you get beyond the halfway point, you start the countdown to the BIG finish! 🎉

We’re feeling excited, motivated, and accomplished. We are covering some ground, folks! Swipe to see each month’s block so far, and drop a ‘DUTCH’ in the comments if you want to make your own! 💕
