Lori Holt has a book called Quilty Fun. The tulip blocks were inspired by a block she designed. So yes and no, its my quilt design with her quilt block.

Your quilt is simply beautiful!!! So bright and cheerful and I simply love the border you did!!! I came across your quilt on Pinterest,

For some reason I can't follow a pattern very often. When I saw her blocks I saw other patterns. So I grabbed paper and pencil and designed my quilt using one of her blocks. She has since removed all of the patterns that were free on her blog and put them into a book called "Quilty Fun" , it can be purchased at Fatquartershop sometime within the next couple of months. No my pattern isn't in the book. But I did send her a pic and she loved it. Of course she reminded me not to share her pattern or I'll be beheaded by the copyright police....LOL!

The quilt reminds me of a carnival, I'd love to give is a cute name but I'm drawing a blank. I'm drawing a blank on the quilting also, so right now its just hanging around the studio till I have a quilting epiphany.

The plan is to use up as many scraps as possible. Even the whites in this quilt were scraps from backings. So they don't all match exactly but that's the point right?! Use it all! If you see some seams in odd places that's because I'm trying to make the most of what the scrap boxes have to offer. Don't call the quilt police on me, I've been threatened once already this week.

The border was working out of my comfort zone a bit. I've done this technique on smaller quilts but never on a large (89 x 110) quilt. A quilty friend taught me this technique. The border is appliqued. Long story short, I goofed when sewing the miter corners, one side twisted one full turn. Lucky for me it was a full turn and could be easily fixed by ripping and restitching.

So whatcha think? Any suggestions for a name?

It's bright it's beautiful and it's great fun....love the use of all kinds of scraps. You have a great eye for color too.
How about "tip toe though the tulips with me"

It's adorable! I love the border and the yo-yos. You did a great job with the applique and the piecing. I really love this quilt, it makes me happy to look at it.
