A SECRET GARDEN
See what treasures await in this
garden as you create this quilt block
by block! Each quilt block has a
unique and beautiful floral design
that weaves throughout the square. A
filigree background stitch holds down
the batting instead of a traditional
stippling stitch to give the base fabric
a luxurious and delicate detail. Vines,
leaves, and flowers decorate the
center of each quilt block, drawing
some inspiration from the florals of
folk art that we love so much.
Every appliqué is quite simple, just
follow the numbered steps alongside
the placement and tackdown
stitches. The border for each block
in this collection strays away from
our traditional folded fabric border
technique. Instead of folded fabric,
we tacked down each fabric strip
as normal appliqué. After that, the
appliqué will be finished with a clean
satin stitch instead of a fold.
This collection also includes two types
of sashing to really mix things up. You
can use the free motion sashing and
connecting blocks for a subtle order,
or use the appliquéd connecting
blocks to carry the bright bursts of
color throughout the quilt.
