| Granny's Garden Quilt |
The Granny's Garden Quilt by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet is a happy project that you will be delighted to pursue in case you love quilts that make you feel like you have stepped into a backyard that is in bloom. This design was included in a free sew-along pattern offered by Riley Blake Designs, in which quilters were encouraged to sew block-by-block in a casual and encouraging way.
The quilt is constructed using Lori Granny Chic fabric collection and applique Sew Simple Shapes which makes the quilt look as happy as a flower bed during sunshine.
What Makes It Special:
The Grannys Garden Quilt brings the caprice of flower gardens to the world of quilt. The blocks are characterized by colorful applique patterns - such as flowers, leaves, stems - and are enclosed in more ancient methods of piecing. Its floral design and its symmetrical design ensure that it can be placed in any guest room, residential room or any other place where you would need a cheerful quilt.
The Granny Chic fabrics of Lori, with all its florals and luscious ginghams, are cozy and vintage and yet fresh and contemporary.
Quilting Tips:
- Balance Colours - Pair brighter and flavourful floral prints with lighter materials to provide blossoms with visual flair.
- Smooth Applique - This will be done with the help of fusible applique shapes or templates, particularly the Sew Simple Shapes set, to keep the stems and petals straight and in place.
- Press Often - Firm pressing after your seams will make sure that your quilt blocks will be laid flat and will fit together in the final quilt top.

The Grannys Garden Quilt is lovely flowery applique and traditional quilt piecing, a project that grows your talents and brings a quilt you will be reluctant to show off or offer to others. This quilt is very creative and appealing in its own blocks, whether you are doing the original sew along or doing it at your own pace.
