Inspired by the stunning chains of floral bouquets often
depicted on vintage wallpapers, this quilting collection
is sure to add a bit of floral flair to any space. Each block
features stunning and ornate floral arrangements, each
presented on their own. Perfectly placed chain elements
then allow these blocks to be sewn together in any
arrangement to create various vertical stripes, mimicking
its wallpaper inspirations. This collection comes with 20
different quilt blocks; 12 designs will incorporate lateral
borders in a mix of square and rectangular orientations, while
the other 8 designs will come in a skinnier width without
borders, allowing you to mix and match the style you use to
create your chained bouquets.

FABRICS
To keep the focus on the intricate
florals, we opted for a tonal
pairing of navy silk dupioni
and blue cotton borders,
using various coral, white,
red and blue appliqués in
the blooms.
NOTIONS
As with most
quilting collections,
you will need a rotary
cutter and ruler to trim
blocks and fabric, as
well as a good pair of
curved appliqué scissors.
THREADS
While the flower colors are entirely
your choice, we incorporated a mix
of standard polyester embroidery
thread and metallics for the vases
and chains!
