In between quilting and the ho-hum chores of daily life I've been cutting scraps for the next easy scrap quilt. The Podunk Posy I designed a few days ago will be the hardest part, and she's not hard at all! Just to prove it to everyone, I'll be posting a tutorial for my Podunk Posy next week. And there's more....I'll also post tutorials for the rest of the quilt as I make it, sorry no PDF pattern this time. The quilt is so simple I think most of you could make it without instructions. Keeping things simple has been the theme so far this year, so might as well just keep on rolling with it. I came up with an idea but couldn't decide on the corners of the quilt. So why not just share all three patterns!
PLAN 1
with baskets in the corners. The baskets are from a previous tutorial that can be found here.
PLAN 2
Butterfly corners, this block has a smaller version of the quilt block in my Flit and Flutter quilt. I'll be sharing the pattern for this block as well.
PLAN 3
checker board corners, this was my original idea for this quilt, but I can't have just one plan now can I?!
The finished size of the quilt is 72 x 72 and has over 300 2.5" squares.
So which Plan is your favorite?
~ Lea Anne ~
Definitely number two.
ReplyDeleteI love your tulips! I like both baskets and butterflies! Either alternating corners or baskets on the bottom corners, butterflies in the air or top corners!
ReplyDeleteYou tulip block is gunna be a stunner :)
ReplyDeleteI love the baskets in the corners. Those lovely colors are really tempting me to make it, but I have to many already waiting in queue and not enough time to make them. I will enjoy watching your progress. I love your work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteButterflies!
ReplyDeleteI like the butterfly option. So cute! I think the way they are angled makes your eye travel around the quilt.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the baskets but then saw the checkerboard - that's my favorite. I like the way it ties in to the center. Such a cute quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat great quilt! I love each and every one of your quilts. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents once again. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the checkerboard the best. It's also the easiest for me. Beautiful spring colors. It's really cold here, but warmer weather is promised for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI vote for #3 but they all work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, happy quilt! My favorite corner block is #1 (Baskets) with #2 (Butterflies) coming in a close second. :o)
ReplyDeleteI like Plan #2. Love this quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies is my choice though I almost always gravitate towards basket designs.
ReplyDeleteYep I love the butterfly corners, your quilt is going to be super cute!!
ReplyDeleteButterflies definitely! I love the sweetness and summer feeling of this design!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the butterflies. I particularly like the scale of them and that they are angled out toward the corners. I would like the baskets also if they were angled, with the bottoms toward the quilt center and the handles toward the outer corners.
ReplyDeleteI like the baskets! Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your tulips. I love the baskets but it looks like the butterflies are winning.
ReplyDeleteI like all of them! Why not mix the butterflies and baskets? Two corners butterflies, two corners baskets. Problem solved! Looks like it's going to be lovely any way you choose.
ReplyDeletePH gosh this will be so cute. I'm voting for the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteAll about the butterflies......SEW excited!!!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteSo I am thinking Baskets in 2 corners and butterfly in the 2 cross corners unless you come up with plan 4 and then there can be a different block in each corner?
ReplyDeleteSeeing these this morning just made me grin!
I prefer the checkerboard corners the best then the baskets!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies in the corners - goes so well with the posies!
ReplyDeleteI love the baskets--a little unexpected but lots of fun! Although I tend to work with darker colors, I really enjoy seeing your designs--so cheerful and happy. You have a wonderful stash of fabrics!

ReplyDeleteI don't have a favourite....I like them all! Looking forward to seeing your Posey tutorial next week, as this quilt is definitely going on my "to do" list.
ReplyDeleteSorry, had a typo and tried to fix. Anyway, I like 1; 3 and 2. Can't wait to make this one! Love your colors! qltdiva1@fuse.net
ReplyDeleteI love the butterflies! This looks like such a fun quilt--and the flowers aren't that complicated but so cute. You are absolutely right, anyone can do it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your motto of keeping this simple this year--why complicate things when you can be simple and no fuss, right?
I like option 1!!!! The butterfly's are cute too....
ReplyDeleteI'm a Libran and true to type, find it hard to decided these things, so I'm going to say 1,,,or maybe 2,,,but then again I like baskets,,,,but the butterflies are cute...Useless aren't I? LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the baskets best, though it's cool that you have different options. It's going to be very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the butterflies. They give a little more "blank" space in the corners that I think works well since the quilt is fairly busy.
ReplyDeleteI love both 1 and 2.
ReplyDeleteHi there Lea Anne,
ReplyDeleteI love, love the butterflies…they really tie the quilt together with their suggestion of movement!

I really like option number one, the baskets. Any one of the three would look really nice. Good luck on choosing just one option!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say I like the baskets the best. I don't know if they are shown to scale, but I like the way they anchor the quilt and fill the corners. Having said that, I think any one of the designs would be great.
ReplyDeleteWhy limit yourself - make all 3 quilts - I love them all - I love the baskets, but I also love the butterflies and I love the checkerboards - either I am easy to please or I just love them all. I have a gazillion 2.5" squares so this would be perfect for my squares. Thank you for the ideas and tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI like them all so I'm no help. Maybe the butterfly though. I need to make this!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly and the baskets. Obviously will need to make both variations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a smashing quilt. And as usual, I'm so tempted to start. And for me the butterflies are the best.
ReplyDeleteI find your quilts to be so fun. I like them all but I would do the corners - baskets! You have such a flare for color and simple design that tugs at my heart. I love seeing what you do and am inspired. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJules
Am sooo excited! Cannot wait for that super cute posy pattern! Love the baskets with them.
ReplyDeleteAm sooo excited! Cannot wait for that super cute posy pattern! Love the baskets with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of scraps. Plan 2 is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove all three! I probably would make the butterfly quilt. I might make them all too! LOL Thank you for sharing all these with us.
ReplyDeleteBaskets -- no doubt about it. What a great plan.
ReplyDeleteNumber2 my best fav.Your quilt will be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove the butterfly corners...
ReplyDeleteLove this! I see you are a fellow Hoosier! I'm about an hour southwest of Martinsville. Do you have a shop or just do this for yourself?
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. How did you make tulips?
