Flea Market Flowers Sew Along - The Big Finish!!




Flea Market Flowers 
Quilt is Finished!!


Welcome to the big finish of the 



We are using my latest 
fabric collection called
Flea Market
It's designed by me ... 
and produced and distributed by the amazing 
Riley Blake Designs:)


We are making my quilt
FLEA MARKET FLOWERS
76" x 86"


We are using my 
PIE RULER
to make all of the flower petals...


This set of my 
CIRCLE RULERS
for all of the flower centers...


And we are also using my 
SEED RULERS
for all of the leaves in the quilt.


All of the other notions as well as fabric requirements are detailed within the 
Flea Market Flowers Sew Along Guide
for the free PDF Download

I also have a "Bee Prepared" blog post 
detailing everything that you will
 need to know about this sew along...
to go to that blog post 
if you have not read it 
or you need to be "refreshed"
 on any of the information!


As promised...
To kick off week one

 YouTube channel showing how to make 
Flea Market Flower 
BLOCK "M"

 so that you can make this cute flower!!


I also did a tutorial during 
week one right here

During week eight 
I did the tutorial for 
BLOCK "B"

I also did the tutorial for 
"BLOCK "A"
during that same week 


Last week before today's 
 big finish I did a tutorial 
on how to make this 
cute little label for your quilt.

for that tutorial


I also showed you how I 
prepare and trim up my blocks 
after appliqué so that they
 are ready to sew into the quilt!!


I love how all of these Flea Market fabrics...
the Flea Market Roses wideback
 and the Coral large Vintage Trim 
all go together to finish up the quilt!
if you want to know how I 
bind my quilts and sew the
 Vintage Trim inside if the binding.


I took a lot of pictures of my
 finished quilt so that you could see 
it up close and personal...
and especially see how it looks
 machine quilted and also machine appliqued.


The wind was blowing and it 
blew the corner of the quilt back
 just so that you could see the label!

I could not have 
planned that even if I tried:)


My friend Juli Stubbs quilted it 
and as always she did an amazing job.



I asked her to quilt an overall pattern
 on this one instead of custom quilting it
 and I absolutely love
 the way that it turned out.




The quilting pattern that she used is one of my very favorite and I use it quite often.
It's called Baptist Swirl.


Afterwards I came inside 
and hung it up in my sewing room 
for the closeup shots.














This quilt was really and truly 
a pure joy to make.
I had so much fun with it 
and I hope that you did as well!


Next up...I wanted to 
let you know some exciting news!!
  I have started a new series called 
Sew Simple Shapes 
"REMiX"
Each month I am designing 
a new applique block 
using my Sew Simple Shapes.

The block will be released 
within the Riley Blake Designs Newsletter 
that comes to your email 
on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
if you are not yet subscribed 
to the newsletter.

On the third Friday of each month 
I will do a video tutorial 
of that months block on my 
YouTube Channel.
to watch the tutorial 
that I did for this months ReMix Block:)

In the video I also show you 
the next sew along 
that I will be hosting 
here on my blog in August.

The quilt is called 
"My Happy Place" 
and we will be using 
my next fabric collection
 that will be here in July.
The collection is called 
STITCH 
and I show it to you in the video:)

I hope you will be joining me 
for that one as well!


Thank you again from 
the bottom of my heart
for sewing Flea Market Flowers with me!

Thank You so much for this beautiful design and sharing it with us. I have enjoyed sewing this quilt and my sister who is miles and miles away ended up joining in and doing one as well with her stash fabrics. We are just getting ours finished up but we have really enjoyed doing this together so very much. Excited for Stitch. Thank you for the inspiration and all the work you do to share this with us.
