BIG,
BRIGHT,
BEAUTIFUL,
BLOSSOMS!
An Explosion of Color
Exotic flowers are a riot of bright colors and unique shapes, and
this collection gives you a hot house full of them! You’ll recognize
orchids, hibiscus, and so many others. All 20 blocks feature one
“big blossom” and a bright array of smaller flowers dancing in the
background. When you’re finished, you’ll have stitched a beautiful,
fresh bouquet.
Picking Colors
It’s always fun choosing colors for a collection such as Big Blossom
Quilt. It has beautiful exotic flowers, digitized with great detail, delicate
layers of thread, and subtle shading. We kept it simple, using pink,
purple, yellow, and blue as our base thread colors, with 2 or 3 shades
of each to achieve realistic blending and shading.
Making Your Quilt
As you start planning your quilt, you will want to take note of the two
different styles of blocks. The first 12 blocks have a featured flower
on the edge of the block along with a spray of smaller flowers on
that same edge. The second 8 blocks put the blossom right in the
center. While both styles work great together, as you will see in the
upcoming pages, you will want to plan ahead.
