Modern Tulip

 Modern Tulip

The most common meaning for tulip is perfect love.  I love the modern feel of this quilt 

you can make all  the tulips in three shades of one colour or use a combination of 

 tulip colours to create a truly spring quilt.  It also works with non-tulip colors as you 

can see in the drawing below.


The finished block size is 8" x 8" and the quilt finishes at 48" x 64"
and uses 5 colors with a total number of 304 pieces.


This quilt is sewn using traditional methods on a home sewing machine, and can

be quilted using either Quilt As You Go methods or in the traditional manner.

 Euro - Flower  Quilt

My Scandinavian background has exposed me to the colors that they use in folk-art 
and the clean crisp lines of the work.  I used their colors when creating 
this quilt so that I could achieve a bright, happy quilt.



I liked to alternate the colors in the four patches 
between red and yellow to make them pop.  The blocks measure 9" x 9" and each 
contain 33 pieces and 5 colors in total are used.



The PDF pattern includes sewing diagrams, list of fabrics, cutting and assembly instructions.


The pattern includes crib, throw, twin, Queen and King sizes.
