Remember that the included seam allowances are only ¼ inch, so there is not much wiggle room if your quilt top comes out a li+le bigger than expected!

CuTng Notes: Example layouts assume 44 inch wide fabrics cut on a single layer (selvedge along top and bo+om). Most yardage requirements are quite frugal! Allow extra yardage for different layouts.


Piecing InstrucQons: Refer to Tulip Block Diagrams for Steps 1-‐14. 1)  Sew B to A along one side, aligning dots from A

and B templates. Press seam allowance toward B. Sew another B to A along other side, again aligning dots. Press seam allowance toward B again. Make 24 sets of B/A/B squares.

2)  Choose 4 D and 4 E pieces for your tulip. I like to make sure all 8 tulip fabrics are represented in each tulip.

3)  Sew 4 pairs of C and D triangles together. 4)  Sew top row of tulip: D/C to B/A/B to C/D. 5)  Sew middle row of tulip: E to E to E. 6)  Sew bo+om row of tulip: C/D to E to D/C. 7)  Make a total of 24 tulips following Steps 2-‐6. 8)  Sew 12 F pieces to 12 G pieces. Then sew

another G to the opposite side of F. 9)  Sew 12 J pieces to 12 K pieces. Then sew

another K to the opposite side of J. 10)  Make 12 short tulips by sewing G/F/G blocks to

the bo+om of 12 tulips. 11)  Sew H pieces to the top of the 12 short tulips. 12)  Make 12 tall tulips by sewing K/J/K blocks to

the bo+om of the 12 remaining tulips. 13)  Sew an I piece to the right side of each of the

24 tulips. 14)  Arrange the tulips in 4 rows of 6, and sew an I

piece to the lew side of the lew-‐most tulip in each row.

Refer to Quilt Diagram for Steps 15-‐20. 15)  Sew tulips together along long edges to form

rows, alternaLng short and tall tulips. 16)  Assemble 5 horizontal sashing strips by sewing

two L pieces together along short sides. 17)  Assemble 2 verLcal sashing strips by sewing

two M pieces together along short sides. 18)  Sew an L strip to the top of each row of tulips,

and then sew the rows together. Sew the final L strip to the bo+om of the quilt.

19)  Sew one M strip to the lew side of the quilt, and sew the other M strip to the right side.

20)  Assemble the horizontal border strips (N pieces) and verLcal border strips (O pieces) the same way as the sashing. Sew the N strips to the top and bo+om of the quilt, and then sew the O strips to the lew and right sides.

Sewing Instructions Appliqué and Embroidery InstrucQons: 21)  Sew leaves, birds, and wings to their backings with

right sides together. If using fusible interfacing for the backing, the glue side is the right side.

22)  Carefully cut a small slit in the backing (be careful not to cut the leaf/bird/wing fabric!) and turn the appliqué right side out. Use a point turner (or kni\ng needle, chopsLck, etc.) to gently push out the corners and curves.

23)  If using lightweight scrap fabric as the backing, press appliqué pieces to set the shape.

24)  Place leaves, birds, and wings on quilt top as desired. Use the photos as a guide, or use your imaginaLon! If using scrap fabric as backing, pin in place. If using fusible interfacing, iron in place.

25)  Sew appliqué pieces to quilt top using a machine zig-‐zag sLtch or by hand.

26)  To embroider features on birds, use 6 strands of embroidery floss and an embroidery needle. Use backsLtch for beaks and legs, and French knots for eyes. If desired, mark placement of beaks and legs with a wash-‐away fabric marker before sLtching.

Assembly, QuilQng, and Binding InstrucQons: 27)  Referring to the Example Fabric Layouts, piece the

quilt backing. 28)  Assemble the “quilt sandwich” (quilt top, ba\ng,

and backing) and secure with safety pins or as desired.

29)  Quilt as desired. Heart templates in two sizes are included in this pa+ern.

30)  Assemble the 3-‐inch binding strips into one conLnuous strip by sewing along short sides. Fold in half lengthwise to make a 1.5-‐inch strip, and press fold in place.

31)  Sew binding around edge of quilt top with folded edge facing inward, leaving 2 inches unsewn at beginning and end. Miter corners as you get to them. Finish edges of binding by unfolding unsewn ends, sewing edges together, refolding, and a+aching to quilt top. (Detailed binding/mitering instrucLons are not included here but can easily be found in a Google search.)

32)  Trim edges of quilt to about ¼ inch. Flip binding to back of quilt, pin, and sew in place by hand or machine.

CongratulaQons, your Tulip Quilt is complete! Use it and enjoy it!
