Very pretty and springy! What's with the weather anyway? I thought it rained in the Pacific Northwest all the time ~ we haven't had any for a while!

Oh I love that quilt!! I've been looking at the Material Obsessions flower for years now. :) Has it been years? Maybe months.....Love what you did with the setting.

You definitely made the right choice as far as the sashing... it sets off the tulips perfectly!
Posted by: Carmen | 31 January 2011 at 10:28 AM
Gosh, those are the scraptastiac tulips I've ever seen. LOVE the hit of black/white dots sprinkled about in your quilt. It's a beauty.

yay for getting your bee quilt pit together!! i spot my block!

Hi Rachel,
I got the pattern idea from the book "material obsession". There's a quilt in the book that uses a small tulip, and I just modified it to make it a little different and bigger. I asked the bee members to applique it by turning the raw edges under and using a machine to edge-stitch. The blocks are 18".

This is stunning Penny!
Posted by: Amelia | 31 January 2011 at 06:14 PM
It's beautiful Penny -- and certainly screams spring!
Posted by: Thimbleanna | 31 January 2011 at 07:29 PM
Oh my--this is absolutely gorgeous. I'm looking at this, then out my window where we have a full lawn of snow (in Texas!), but wow.
Posted by: Trish | 01 February 2011 at 08:08 AM
I know I've already told you how wonderful this is...but I had to come back and stare at it a little longer! So pretty, I want one just like it ;)
Posted by: erica | 01 February 2011 at 02:55 PM
Exceptional!
