Here it is at last …. Blooming Flowers. I had help with the name (thanks KDL) and many thanks to all that left suggestions. There are a few suggested names that I will use for upcoming quilts that have flowers in the pattern.I am go glad that I went with the ‘what if ’ idea which resulted in this quilt.
For such a wee quilt, it has been long in finishing. I hope that you were not bored with my long drawn out photos showing the progress along the way
These booklets were my source for the embroidered flowers. I bought these about 30 yrs. ago and hardly used them until now. I will be planning more quilts using these booklets. Most of the patterns had to be reduced to fit into the octagons.In search of fabric .....
My SIL wants to make a quilt similar to this one. This quilts hangs in an oncology office at a Terrace, B.C. hospital and she has admired this quilt for a while now.
Do you see the angel fabric? Does anyone know where we can find this fabric?
Have a great day!

Thanks for leaving a note on the hexagon site about your beautiful quilt. I have some octagons at home here that would be perfect and I was never quite sure what I wanted to do with them. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteBlooming Flowers...what a wonderful job you have done Rose Marie and it has been fun watching the growth of this quilt...
ReplyDeleteThis is just a wonderful quilt, love the flower designs,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty embroideries and such lovely old pattern books.
ReplyDeleteThe Blooming Flowers quilt turned out beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteDid you get any Angel fabric? I have a cut out of the one fabric in the quilt - the two angels with the harp inside the red and green circle. I ironed it on a small piece of muslin to use as a label but never used it. It could easily be trimmed around and appliqued onto a background. I also a couple of small fat quarters of angel fabric. I am happy to send them to you.
Rosemarie.. your flowers in bloom just turned out so beautiful. You are so quick with your projects! and they are wonderful to boot. One day I will be posting some finished projects instead of WIPS..LOL now what are you going to work on??
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteAs for angel fabric, if there is a fabricland in your area, they sometimes have it available around christmas. I know lens mills here in ontario (in cambridge) used to have some really elaborate pannel quilting stuff, so they might have some if they carry it
