Lollypop tree quilt
 

Has anyone made the Lollypop tree applique quilt by Kaffe Fasset? I love doing hand applique and thought this would be a cute project, but don't know anyone who had made one. I'm curious as to what the pattern contains. I've never seen it in a shoppe, I've only seen it online for $30. If anyone has made one, can you post a picture and let me know if you liked doing this project? Thanks!

wow, they look complicated and a huge project to me :)

never saw it till now. wow! looks like a lot of fun

I've seen that quilt pattern somewhere - always thought it needed more blank space in each block - each block is great but too busy wen all put together.

The Lollipop Trees pattern is actually by Kim McLean from Australia. She just used Kaffe Fabrics. There are very few shops in US that carry her patterns.

WoW!! The colors are amazing.....I love applique...but as Nancy said, complicated and huge! I'll have to wait on this one I think!!

Would be fun to do just one block as a hanging!

Thanks everyone for your response. I guess no one has made this quilt....didn't realize the pattern wasn't sold here. I agree, it's very busy, far too busy for my taste. Not a fan of Kaffe Fasset's fabrics, they seem a bit manic to me, especially in such large doses, but I thought it would be fun to make, even if only a few blocks were used. I think, overall, it would be far more interesting if fewer patterns were used and there was more neutral space. Guess I'll just have to find some other long term project to keep me busy.:)

Holy cow...they are gorgeous but a labor of love for sure. I wouldn't be able to tackle anything like that until I retire.

I'm not familiar with that but I love Kaffe Fassett fabrics!! They make me happy.

But I agree they are a bit manic!! :D

Here is a source I found for the different patterns.

Some of the shapes could be cut using Accuquilt dies to speed the process.

There are circles, orange peel and leaves available in the AQ dies. Check the designer dies too as they might work also into the quilt pattern.

I just made a comment about this author on the thread on buying patterns. Her patterns are awesome and although she doesn't use a sewing machine, you can definitely use monofilament thread and use your favorite method of applique. Two of the quilt shows in my area this year had her patterns this year. They are very unique and are VERY CURVY! I have all my Kaffee Fassett fabrics ready, washed, and my freezer paper traced. I am so excited to get started!

Several quilts were done this year at the East Cobb Quilt Show here in ATL, using the Kim McLean patterns..they are breathtaking when completed. I've had my eye on one of her patterns for the last several years, but there are too many other things waiting to be completed...bucket list, though.

Yesterday I went to one of the LQS that I don't usually go to to get some thread, and what do I see for sale there...this very pattern! What a coincidence. I read this post and then saw the pattern a few hours later...weird :-)

Oh my gosh! They are amazing. Lots of dedication on this one. Good Luck on your new project. What an awesome quilt.

I made this quilt! It wasn't difficult, just time consuming. It took me over a year to hand applique the blocks and I enjoyed every minute.
