Fresh, fun, and full of charm—our newest edge-to-edge design, Bloomlet, is ready to make your quilts shine.

Bloomlet combines playful spirals with simple four-petal flowers, creating a joyful mix of curves and blooms. It has that lighthearted, whimsical feel that instantly brings a quilt to life. The design flows continuously, so while it looks sweet and detailed, it stitches efficiently from edge to edge.

There is some backtracking involved in this design, so if you're curious about that, watch the video of the stitch-out at the top of this blog post.

 

The Quilt

I have to admit, I pieced this quilt top specifically to test a different pantograph design. I loaded it up and quilted three rows of the intended design until I was sure it was a no-go. Sometimes my ideas on the computer don't quite translate well to real-life applications. It's a bummer, but that's life. That means more tweaking is needed until I'm happy with the design or it'll get scra...
