All the components are sorted for my 'tulip' quilt now - the improv blocks are made, the borders are all ready, and I've made the binding.
Spending some time today slow stitching, doing some needleturn applique, enjoying the process, one tulip after another . . .
. . . and then I'll be ready to stitch everything together.
If you are a scrappy quilt lover, these string pieced tulips are such a great way to use up some fabric snippets. I've used mainly Anna Maria Horner little leftovers for this, some of her earlier fabrics, with lots of those {everso} useful neutrals.

That's going to be just beautiful when it's finished. Perfect weather for sitting inside sewing. I think I've lost my sewjo at present.
Looking lovely.
That quilt makes me smile and happy
It's looking great. Enjoy your needle turn stitching.
I really like how this is coming together. Making this tulips and border from the same fabric stash works quite well. I would never have thought of that. Thanks! And the improv background of whites updates the look so much. Thanks for sharing your process and progress.
So pretty! I love the scrappy color and the low volume background!
oh, is this lovely, or what!
Beautiful work and design. I see you got ric-rac!
Perfect.
You've already prepared the binding? Nice work!! It's going to be SEW sweet.
Your choice of fabric and colors is perfect. I love how this is looking. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
It's a beauty Linda!
Thank you! (I am not able to email you so am repling here, hope you see)
Beautiful! Love how these busy blocks look on the serene background.:)
the vibe of your quilts are always interesting, plenty for the eye to wander over. It looks like a lap/wall hanging size, but then photo's can be deceiving?
Wonderful. And I'm still inspired! Someday I hope tulips will be growing in my house!
Thanks so much Joanne. I’m enjoying this remake, and the softer palette with its little ‘pops’ of colour! ( I can't seem to be able to email you back, so hope you see this reply)
Oh this is just gorgeous! Love those happy tulips, especially amongst those improv blocks!
Love your Tulips! It's a gorgeous scrappy quilt.
