"VINTAGE TULIP POT BLOCK"
Welcome to week six of the
"BEE VINTAGE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week
when I will be doing 3 tutorials
on three blocks for the quilt.
Of course because we are all sewing
from all around the world
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each
Monday - Wednesday - Friday
right here on my blog
and you can follow my tutorials
any time during the week that
is convenient for you.
We are making the
Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt
71" x 84"
The quilt is made with my fabric
collection called Bee Vintage...
and a few other prints from my basics collections as well:)
I hope that you all have all
received your
fabric kits by now...
and that we are all ready to begin!!
If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for
"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.
We are also using the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
I have already posted the
post which details all of the supplies
for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there
for the free PDF Download
of the Sew Along Guide
to download the sew along guide
if you have not downloaded yet.
As per usual for the first block in my
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs

Today we are planting a tulip pot!!
Here is my Vintage Tulip Pot Block
All cut...traced and ready to go!
Here is a list of the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes
needed for this block:
1 - P-1
1 - P-8
2 - P-26
2 - P-27
You will also need a 5" piece
of straight bias for the center stem
And 2 prepared 1/4" slightly
curved bias strips that measure about
4" long for the side stems.
***NOTE***
You can either cut your strips
on the bias or straight across
your fabric like I did.
The side stems have such a slight
curve that when I pressed the curve
(as I showed in THIS VIDEO)
it held the curve just fine
even though it was not cut on the bias.
Take note that this info goes for
ALL of the bias strips
in this quilt...but as always
YOU are the boss of your own quilt
so you can decide how you want to do it:)
Cut your background
12" x 12"
and press it in half so that
you can center your tulip pot:)
***TAKE NOTE***
That you will need to
trace ONE each of the P-26 and P-27
shapes for the leaves in reverse.
After sewing and trimming up the
seam allowances you will need to
clip each cleavage area and inner curves
in the tulips and the inner curves in
the side of the pot and all four leaves.
Shaped...pressed and ready for planting:)
Center your pot and the middle stem
on the pressed fold in your background.
Use the lines on your
10 1/2" Trim-It Ruler
to help you when laying out your shapes!
Here are a few measurements...
From the top of the center tulip
to the bottom of the pot
it measures about 9 1/2" tall.
The side tulips are 9" wide:)
My tulip pot is pinned and glued...
And now ready for applique:)
After you have appliquéd...
press your block from the back
and trim it down to
10 1/2" square to sew into the quilt.
Your tulip pot is ready to add to
your stack of "Fun and Done" blocks:)
