In the past few weeks I've received several requests for the pattern of my Promenading Tulips quilt. If your not familiar with this quilt its at the top of my blog on a yellow truck. Due to the tulips in the block not being my design I can't share a pattern. The tulip block is a Lori Holt design from the book Quilty Fun. You can find the book very easily by doing an online search. I put her tulips on point and added a center block with set in triangles. I contacted Lori when making the quilt to ask about sharing my pattern on my blog using her block. Understandably she warned me of copyright lawyers. After putting much thought into how I could share my idea without giving out any of her measurement here's what I came up with....Close ups of the blocks with a little explanation.
I can't give you the measurements for the center block because if I do I'll be telling you the dimension of Lori's block. But what I can tell you to help you design your own is..
you need
1. (1) piece of green stem that is the
stem width from the book X tulip block width from the book
2. (2) stems that are stems the width from book X width of leaf
3. the white pieces are (4) squares that are the width of the leaf from the book
I made this quilt before her book came out so I no longer have my scribbles and measurements for the set in triangles. Why keep them if you can't share them! However I can help you with an
on point online calculator.
You'll need the unfinished block measurements from the book for the tulip block.
For the triangles above the tulip you need the block width, and for the triangles at the side of the tulips you'll need the tulip block length.
The sashings were made from 2.5 squares and strips the length of the tulip blocks.

The scallop border is a technique from the book called Just Around the Corner by Kari Carr. If your looking for the tutorial you can read more about the corrections here.

ReplyDeleteHave mercy! You are so talented! I love everything you do!
ReplyDeleteSooooo pretty! Is this scrappy, or is this a line of fabrics please?
ReplyDeleteScrappy, even the whites.
DeleteI noticed that you have a Ceremonial quilt that you made for your Dad. Do you know where you got the pattern. I would like to make a Native American quilt in the Lone Star pattern. Please let me know if you have the time to get back to me. Thank you.
