The Painting Flowers Quilt by Tilda's World is a quilting masterpiece in fabric, so this is an introduction to it.
It's a magical feeling to take a fresh, colorful yardage and make something out of it! Now, I want to go deep into a pattern that has won my entire heart, and my imagination over this: The Painting Flowers Quilt designed by the wonderful brain of Tone Finnanger, of Tilda's World.
You're looking for something that will keep you busy with some fun piecing challenges and yet give you the stunning "heirloom" finish you've been dreaming of, then you've come to the right place! Let's discover what makes this particular floral design the perfect choice for your sewing room this season.
The Magic of Tilda's Aesthetic.
If you are new to Tilda's World, Tone Finnanger designs are widely known for their whimsical, romantic and slightly vintage style. The Painting Flowers Quilt is a gorgeous quilt on which to display this unique quilting technique.
This pattern is enough to create a beautiful garden without the need for extensive applique! Soft pinks, dusty teals, muted greens and warm mustards all dance in harmony with the colors. The finished size of the quilt is not only reminiscent of a cuddle blanket, but it is also like an impressionistic painting woven together. This is the ideal project for everyone to display their beloved floral bunch without fear of cutting them!
Practice and techniques to help you succeed.
Before you get started cutting, here are a couple of suggestions for creating a quilt that is successful and seamless:
- Label Everything: Pattern has several moving parts including petals, leaves, stems and background pieces. Make sure A, B, and C cuts are kept well labelled in individual project trays.
- Pressing Your Fabrics: Since your HSTs have smaller size pieces and bias edges, a well pre-starched fabric will not stretch out of shape while you are cutting out.
- Look at your seam allowance: If you're looking for your best friend, it's the scant quarter inch seam. Before you start, test if your seam allowance is correct, by using a few scrap pieces to check to make sure your final block will be the same size in the pattern.
Final Thought
The Painting Flowers Quilt by Tilda's World isn't a weekend sewing project, it's a trip down the road of color placement, precision piecing and artistic expression. This pattern is used for a beautiful garden whether or not you use the recommended Tilda fabric collections, or you use your scrappy stash and make your own fabric collection. Now pick up your rotary cutter, thread your machine and let the creativity flow! Happy quilting!
