Knitted Blooms Quilt Along: A Blooming Journey in Community Quilting
A Cozy Invitation by Brittany Lloyd.
Lo & Behold Stitchery has created something truly amazing: the Knitted Blooms Quilt Along (QAL)! This eight-week stitching journey began February 8 and continues through April 5—perfect for quilters wanting to make something beautiful with friendly guidance and encouragement.
A Quilt Design That Comes into Bloom with You
Brittany designed Knitted Blooms as a sibling pattern to her best-seller Knitted Star, where inspiration was drawn from flowering blooms rather than star tips. As with all her other patterns, this one is fat-quarter friendly, uses simple strip piecing, and features three colorway options—Modern, Traditional (with the option of sashing), and a bright 4-color version.
