The tutorial for the Tulip Border can be found HERE.

Or on page 104 of Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3 available on Etsy HERE

Tulip Border, FMQ, Spring SamplerAdd Tulip Time to the two edge borders of your quilt.

If you were stitching this motif on a middle border, you could stitch in the ditch to connect each tulip.

Later this week we will do a re-cap with links to all the steps in this quilt…

Of course it’s not a quilt until the binding is added and it has a label!!

Happy Stitching!

  • Actually, it was the 6/28 email Happy Independence Day post that I couldn’t open.

      That was a broken link replaced with the Fourth link

  • Did you ever do the recap and links to all the steps? I didn’t see that. Also I couldn’t get the link to open from your Happy Fourth of July email. Thanks.

    I truly have enjoyed this Spring Sampler, Lori! I’ve just completed my quilting and as I step back to admire my work, I’m so pleased with each motif that we practiced. I’ve gained a lot of confidence. The one thing I am working on at this stage is control, control, control, and by participating in the Spring Sampler, I’ve had lots of opportunity! Thank you sew very much! Now, off to prepare my binding!

      Thrilled to hear it!!!

  • Love this and it has inspired an entire flower garden border…tulips of all shapes, daisies, zinnias….

  • Such beautiful even stitches! How many stitches to the inch?

    As I look at this design, how it’s implemented and then stepping back to take a look, I realize why it’s so appealing! It’s clean and simple looks are so fresh and beautiful to me. Thanks Lori, I will try this on my mid arm machine.
