floral squares
 

Someone gave me a box of floral fabric long time ago. I saw this quilt somewhere and I decided to do a king size utilitarian quilt for my bed, machine pieced and quilted on a regular size Jenome ( I will never machine quilt another king size quilt!). I pieced the backing with more floral fabric, I like the end result, but I still have a box full of floral fabric.

Wow! That is a pretty quilt. wish someone would give me that amount of fabrics. I might not have to buy fabrics for years.

nicely done

Beautiful! What size did it finally come out? I want to make a King size but I want the sides to hang down like yours.

That looks wonderful! I love patchwork quilts like yours. You did a great job. That is a fantastic collection of floral prints. Were they saving for a watercolor quilt?

That is an awesome quilt!!! You did an amazing job.

That is really pretty. I am drawn to floral prints. Perhaps I should do something like that. I really love it.

I love your quilt..very beautiful. If you are trying to get rid of the fabric, please feel free to send it to me. You can reach me at [email protected]. I'm always in need of fabric :-)

Lovely quilt-that was quite a task to quilt it. Well done.

You made a wonderful quilt. It looks like Spring has sprung ....

beautiful floral squares

great job very pretty!!!

Love your quilt. I'm picturing you pulling that quilt through your sewing machine. I don't know how you did it.

My friend challenged us to use only floral fabric and a background if needed. I had a large heavy Rubbermaid bin full of florals. I have now made six large floral quilts and have given away many floral strips with my favourite floral pattern and I still have a large heavy bin of florals in addition to the dozens of 3 1/2" floral strips that I have cut. Do floral fabrics grow in the night?

These pretty floral quilts -- like your lovely one -- always remind me of nap time at grandma's, perhaps out on the screened porch. :)

Your quilt is beautiful. I love florals too. They make wonderful watercolor quilts

Oh yes....this is such a romantic, nostalgic, cozy, wonderful quilt. I would never have thought to put those florals all together this way - but my gosh.....it is just SO pretty !!!

Reminds me of the quilts my grandmother had on her beds. Love the different prints.

This quilt is so pretty. I love the floral, and the simplicity of the patch work. :)

Very pretty good.

That worked out beautifully!

It turned out nice! I made some charity quilts with florals--they are also pretty (not only as charity quilts--just pretty for use with florals.) Here's one idea. If you already have cut squares, it would go together quickly.

very springlike. good job.

Very nice! I sometimes wonder what to do with all those older florals. This looks great. Thanks for sharing. You did a great job with the fabrics and the quilting. It is a beautiful quilt.

You did a great job....I have a lot of florals too, must get them out and do something with them.

very pretty... what a great way to use up your floral scraps. It looks very nostalgic, something from years past, very comforting and inviting. I can understand your apprehension of quilting another king on your DM but from your photo, it looks like you were successful on this one! Beautiful job.

Love floral fabric and really love your quilt!

It will always be spring in your room. Very nice.

Beautiful scrappy quilt

Thank you so much for the inspiration of what to do with some of my florals. I love fabric and buy like a fiend, but then I get it home and in the stash and wonder what to do with it.

pretty quilt. It reminds me of quilts my mom made for us. It is surprising how little fabric a large quilt actually takes, isn't it?

I love quilts made of squares. To my thinking the first quilts must have been made of squares. Great job.

I LOVE you floral fabrics. They always remind me of spring time, they are a soothing image.
you did a great job putting yours together. The quilting compliments the fabric. I imagine many happy dreams sleeping under that quilt.

Ooooh, that makes me feel all warm and cosy. It's lovely, just right in a Cornish Cottage bedroom, with the sound of the stormy sea crashing against the shore.

Lovely. I can't imagine quilting it on a regular machine. I have enough to trouble doing a full on my tiara

Simple but gorgeous...love it!

WOW, so sweet and simple but stunning. I am draw to any floral quilts, maybe because I love flowers but can't grow a thing. Love yours.

Love it I wish some one would give me a beautiful box like that.

I am in the process of cutting 3 inch squares for making quilts. I love your quilt.

Very pretty!! Such soft colors, and nice florals~
