Here's my Super Sized Tulip Crushes! I really love the darker primitive look...so i just had to design this one to welcome Spring into my home!
Don't look too close...i still have to hand stitch the binding down! Some quilters love that part...not me. Lol
When i started this quilt, i picked a background lighter in color. After making 2 tulips, i knew i was not going to be happy with it...so instead of tossing them aside, i tea stained them!
The only problem with tea staining...those tulips shrunk just a bit. But i made them work regardless!! Press, stretch a bit and press again.
I'll be adding the new Tulip Crush Quilt pattern to my existing Tulip Crush pillow pattern. If you have purchased the pillow pattern already on Craftsy, you will be notified of the updated version and can download it for free!
Currently the pillow pattern sells for $5...once i include the quilt pattern, the price will become $8.50. If you purchase Tulip Crush pillow pattern before May 25th, you'll get it for the lessor price and can download the new version when it becomes available. :)
Spring = May flowers!
Gorgeous tulips! Love the quilt!

ReplyDeletewhat lovely tulips shame you do not enjoy the binding process I enjoy that would offer to sew it for you but you are rather far away seem to think the pond is in the way
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful, I really like the colors. The pillow tulips bothered me with the blue leaves, so I like this better!
ReplyDeleteAnd the quilt police will not arrest you if you sew the binding on by machine. I promise. Press it flat from the front, turn it over, run a little bead of Elmer's washable school glue down the stitching line on the back. Fold over the binding so it covers the stitching line. Press and it will dry the glue and hold the fabric down without a million pins or having the back side scootch out from under while you are stitching from the front. Use an even feed foot if you like, I don't usually. Stitch in the ditch on the front side. Waalaa, binding done. Nobody will know. Or care. The glue makes it a little stiffer,but comes out easily either with a damp washcloth or the first time you wash the quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt is still cold here and doesn't feel like spring. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tulips.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... love this pattern even more with the prim colors and checkerboards!
ReplyDeleteLove the random layout you did with the tulips, reminds me of some of our tulip beads along the quay where I live.
