How to Machine Quilt the Lollipop Flower

Good Morning, Quilters and Gardeners!

The Whimsical Spiral Flower

This flower is one of my absolute favorite motifs!

You can vary the look by making the center spiral larger or smaller and add more interest by changing the shape of the petals.

Stitch the Lollipop Flower in a little pot, or plant it right in the ground!

Border Motif

The Lollipop flower is perfect as a border motif.

I’ve even used the pattern to decorate tea towels similar to the mushroom towels here.

(Buy tea towels HERE)

Fill a Square Block

I’ve also used the Lollipop Flower to fill a square block.

Position four flowers angling in toward the center to fill the square.

In the whole cloth quilt below, I added small flowers in between each large flower.  (Look closely, they are a little hard to see!)

 

My Minnesota Garden

There are more flowers in this post than in my Minnesota garden! But, the snow is finally gone and the grass has turned green!

Flowers will blooming in no time!

(Maybe a few dandelions too…)

  3. I had the very lucky chance to find your wonderful site last week and I can’t get enough !! Thank you so much you make quilting fun and challenging at the same time. I’m trying to make up new ways to make quilt motifs of my favourite things …So much fun!!!!!

    1. I can relate to that! When I found it, I went all the way back to the beginning, and have read the whole thing. There is so much helpful stuff here! She also has books, which are a great resource to keep right next to you as you are sewing–easier than sewing by looking back and forth at the computer! They are spiral bound, so they lay flat, which was genius.

  5. Can not believe my good luck. I am sitting here looking at a wedding quilt made of large houses I am almost done with pondering the border and guess what. You are my answer!!!! Thank you,thank you. It will be so adorable for my granddaughter. That flower motif fits this quilt perfectly!!!!!!!!

  6. Es un motivo encantador, es muy inspirador, todo tu blog es fabuloso yo muchas veces vuelvo atrás a leer muchos post que he leído. Gracias!!!! Aquí estamos en otoño y mi camelia se prepara, está llena de capullos. 🌈🌈🌈🌈
