Starting from issue 86, every issue of Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine is featuring a new quilt block from the Blomma Block of the Month series by Yasmeen K Branton. Each month we’ll reveal a floral appliqué design to make a stunning Scandi-style quilt, block by block. We kicked off the appliqué festivities in issue 86 with our Forsta block – a Scandi-style tulip.
This post is for all of you quilters joining in at home. Read on to find out how much fabric you’ll need to make the whole quilt, see the finished quilt diagram and find the exact shades that Yasmeen used for her version.
This appliqué quilt will be made up of twelve floral appliqué quilt blocks, giving you the opportunity to brush up on your hand quilting over the next year. Each block will have several colour combos, so you can put your own spin on how your finished quilt will look. In the last issue of the series, Yasmeen will talk us through how to piece all the blocks together.
If you’d like to sew along with us for this series, show us how you’re getting on! Share your finished blocks using the hashtag #BlommaBOM.
Below you can see a finished Layout Diagram to envision what your finished quilt will look like. Follow Yasmeen’s layout, or mix and match your own 12in blocks as you please. The finished quilt measures 60in x 72in, the perfect size to snuggle under on the sofa!
