Dutch Tulips quilt along
It's Sew Emma have a new quilt pattern, Dutch Tulips and I am joining in the quilt along to make pretty spring flowers! The quilt pattern can be made in four different sizes: crib, lap, twin and queen. The blocks come together easily and it is so fun choosing fabric combinations to create the tulip.
The bold combination of prints is the result of raiding my stash / scraps along with some new fabric. I love the rope text print with the striking stripes and the black and white print reminded me of the anthers of a tulip!
I chose the petal prints first and then couldn't find a green that worked well with them for the stem and leaves, so instead I decided to use this blue Denyse Schimdt fabric, which works well with the background fabric too.
I chose to machine appliqué the leaves, though you could sew them by hand if you prefer. The soft pale blue Aurifil #2847 was perfect.
I am making this into a cushion cover and haven't yet decided on a layout. I may make another tulip block and then decide!
What fabric would you use for this quilt?

I'm down with epp
and I got the t-shirt to prove it! This is limited edition by Samarra Khaja for Pink Castle Fabrics. I am hoping they will do more designs because it's brilliant. The ink is silver metallic (but not glittery) and the t-shirt is so soft, I got mine oversized so I could feel comfy and wear it with jeans or leggings for everyday. This is definitely my new favourite t-shirt!
I have been doing some epp, working on a couple of cute appliqué patterns that I will show you soon.
The urge to do some hand quilting has been strong, so I got my Star Crossed quilt basted and will be getting on with this whenever I can!
