tip tuesday: floral quilts

Today’s tip comes to us from quilt artist and teacher, Marguerette Tate, who creates gorgeous dimensional floral quilts. She advises not to worry about making all the petals on flowers in your quilts exactly the same. Look at flowers in real life or photographs of flowers. Each petal is unique. If all your petals don’t come out exactly like the pattern, it’s OK, the flower will still be wonderful.

Give it a try, maybe even cut or sew the petals without a pattern and see what happens.

Here’s my first dimensional flower I made in Marguerette’s workshop last week. Tune in tomorrow for WIP Wednesday to see everything else that I made.

  1. A lot of this flower was made up as I went along, so let me make a bunch more flowers first so that I can write up a tutorial that makes sense!

    You'll see a flower tutorial one of these Tuesdays!
