11 Amsterdam Quilt.

5.21.2014

I had the opportunity to stitch up this springy tulip quilt for Cloud 9 Fabrics to hang in their booth at Quilt Market.  It's called the Amsterdam Quilt, and you can find the free pattern for the quilt on the Cloud 9 website now!
 
I can't take credit for the cute tulip design, Michelle Engel Bencsko designed it, I just figured out the math and sewed it all together.   I got to use the beautiful new fabric line from Eloise Renouf, called Shape of Spring, which is shipping to stores this month!  I love the colors and patterns in this line!

I used my favorite wavy quilting method for the quilting, which took forever since I quilted the lines so close together, but it is always worth the extra time in the end.






My dog is funny and loves modeling with quilts, even though he usually avoids the camera at all costs.  This one was no exception!  

Thanks Cloud 9 Fabrics for the opportunity, I had fun making this quilt!  Can't wait to see the other Amsterdam Quilts made with this pattern!

    Your quilt looks gorgeous, and it's such a clever name! I saw it on Jeni Baker's blog as one of her favorites last week :))

    Lovely quilt! The tulip design is so pretty. I love how that dark blue contrasts against the softer colors. The quilting adds such a nice texture.

    I love this quilting and need to start one today. I love the quilt and where its at too. My dog loves laying or sitting on whatever I am working on and if she cant find something in my studio she will whine..

    It's very pretty. I love the quilting too, although I can see it would indeed take a while!

    I love everything about this quilt, the wavy texture in the quilting, the pattern, and the fabrics. Great finish :)

    I really like the way the quilting looks. It would take a lot of time, but the textured, bubbly look is really nice.

    Love at first sight! I'm planning on making this in the near future. Tulips are my favourite flower too! Beautiful quilting, worth the hard work.
