That looks like an unstuffed biscuit quilt, with the fullness tacked in the center to look like flowers. You could follow a biscuit quilt pattern and not stuff the squares, but tack them in the center like this photograph.

Apparently the pinterest quilt was made with clover Puff Quilting Clips: here's the blog post with the original pics that were on pinterest and where she talks about it: http://www.checkernewsletter.com/?p=1003

That's it! Thanks for that info. I've never heard of Puff Quilting Clips. I'll check it out.

Good luck, Tropit! You certainly have original ideas. I'll be watching this site to see what you come up with!

I am just guessing, but are you referring to a ruched section? if that is what you want, then look up Martha Pullen. She makes beautiful quilts with ruching, but she calls it 'puffing' when she demonstrates it. This method gathers two try googling Martha Pullen/puffing.sides of a long piece, and then sews the edges to other fabric to create what she calls puffing. I don't know how to add a link on my tablet, but I just fried it and her site came right up.

I'd like to try a block with smocking--I think it would work much the same way:

Yes, I did and it turned out great. My gathered pieced was about 2-3 inches wide. I used it as my first border, then added a second wider border [ not gathered]. I used my gathering foot, went down one side, then down the other. I did it in strips and when I had to add them together for length you had to look hard for the seam.

There was a Fons & Porter segment where a woman did a "ruched" column for a baby quilt, using her serger. I thought it was a great idea. You can go on their website and do a search. and if I'm able to come across it again, I'll send it to you.

The quilt on the Fons & Porter Love of Quilting 2100 Series is called Periwinkles in Bloom.

I was in Barnes and Nobles looking at all the new quilt magazines and a ruched block quilt was in one of them. I can't remember which one though.
