Tiled Blooms Pattern
Welcome to Day 8 of the Playful Petals blog tour! Today I am sharing the 2nd free pattern I designed for this blog tour. This quilt, Tiled Blooms, is a very beginner friendly quilt. The piecing is very easy and the petals are slightly oversized. Tiled Blooms finishes at 60″ square. The fabrics I used are from Heather Bailey’s Up Parasol line of fabric.
It’s no secret that I have a little bit of a “thing” for Heather Bailey’s fabrics. I love the way the pink colorway from her first line of fabric, FreshCut, goes with Up Parasol. The folded quilt(the quilt pattern is called Gypsy Girl) was the first quilt I made using her fabrics–FreshCut still remains one of my favorite lines of fabric ever!
For the quilt back, I pieced together some larger pieces of fabric and included a lot of the Ikea Britten Nummer print that I’ve been wanting to use.
As I was taking this photo a bunch of horses came right up to the fence and walked by. I thought they might try to eat it off the fence!–Okay, or at the very least, knock it off. =)
And, here’s the Tiled Blooms Pattern–It’s a freebie made to work with my book Playful Petals. It uses the applique techniques I have outlined in the book. Please note, you will need to print out both the PDF pattern and the Petal Pattern. Make sure your page scaling is set to “none” when printing out the petal template.
Day 8 of the Playful Petals Blog Tour brings us the 8th quilt in the book. This one is called Sunshine and Clouds and features Madrona Road fabrics by Violet Craft.
This is a fun take on the petal shape and a great use of a jelly roll. I really want to either make another of these, or see one made up in a super scrappy version.
Quilting by Angela Walters
I used a little fussy cut Sweetwater print for the center of the Sunshine and Clouds pillow. In my book, I give some suggestions for placing lighter fabrics over top of darker fabrics. You’ll notice that none of the text fabric shows through the white fabric petals on top.
Two different bloggers will be sharing about Playful Petals tomorrow. Make sure to stop back to see who’s up! =) And on Friday, I’ll be kicking off an exciting giveaway. =)
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
So far all of the projects on this hop have been wonderful. There are some very talented people out there!
Love the pillow with just a bit of embroidered quilting! Nice touch!!!
Thank you for this free pattern Corey. I think I will have to try my hand at it. Maybe in some fall fabric colors.
I really like the circular effect that this pattern gives. Thank you for the free pattern.
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I really love it. And it worked. ;D Adding your book to my next order!
I just bought the Up Parasol fabric as well! I loved the birds and I thank you for this pattern for me to do with the fabric! I have been looking for a pattern to use the big print in this line. Thanks! I am glad I found your site too because I love this book you are featuring.
Just wanting to say thanks for the free pattern. It’s one that I plan to make.
I’m excited like to try using Heat and Bond to applique. Also, I love the pillow design. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Corey, for the free pattern. It is another terrific one. Can’t wait to try some petals!
Another triumph, I love all your petal quilts but this one is so special. Quilty hugs
Wonderful. Thank you so much for this free pattern. It really looks like it will be fun to do. I’m so impressed with how you’ve tackled so many different ways to use petals!!
Thank you so much for the free patterns. Just loved the Playful Petals book of yours and have just recently finished stitching the petals for My Rainbow Petals quilt. Love it and look forward to completing it soon.
Thank you so much for this free pattern ! I plan on using my Aloha Girl fabric to make this quilt and have a question about the template I printed out ? It looks awfully big ?
I would appreciate you getting back to me when you have time 😀
