Today I am happy to introduce my latest quilt patter, In Bloom, to you all. Meet in Bloom, a celebration of spring and summer flowers.
In Bloom features the Untamed collection by Tula Pink for FreeSpirit Fabrics. The pattern is available in the May 2025 issue of AQ Magazine. I spent countless hours constructing and quilting this beauty, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. In Bloom is foundation paper piecing and curved templates, with a pieced border.
Each round of blocks was quilted with its own unique design. The quilting took about a week to plan and stitch out. I was stuck for a little bit, but with some help from Sharon Blackmore of Love Shack Quilts I got right back on track. Sharon offers one on one workshops and I highly recommend it! She is kind and patient and so talented.
The quilting is mostly ruler work, with some freehand ribbon candy swirls thrown in for good measure.
Enjoy the rest of the photos, and I hope you get a chance to pick up a copy of the magazine!
Happy Stitiching!
Would really like to make this quilt In Bloom. I have tried Office Max and Staples and no one can print the pattern out except on poster size which is over $20.00 a page. Do you have a suggestion on what company can print this at 200% increase? Office Max won’t print it on blueprint paper because it is considered a photo not a drawing.
Thank you,
Hi Merrilee,
Photocopy the templates, cut them out of the photocopy, then center them on the photocopier and use that to enlarge them. It’ll take a bit of rearranging, and you may have to tile some of the pieces onto multiple pages to get it just right. I typically do them on 11″ x 17″ paper when I do copies. I’m sorry the copy shop isn’t being as helpful as they could be.
