Today is that day that I am able to show what I have
been sewing.

Brookview is a beautiful fabric collection by Island Batik.
It has such a gorgeous variety of burgundys, greens, blues and yellows.
throughout the prints.
It has to be one of my favorite collections.
Most of the fabric collection is found in this
new quilt that I created called Bonnie's Blossoms.
The quilt is 60" square with a lot of large
applique and surrounded by pieced blocks.
This is the biggest applique design that I have attempted
to make. I just love how well
these fabrics complimented the design.
Check to see if your local quilt shop carries these beautiful
batiks, and if they don't maybe just request
that they would carry them.
I did use handy EZ Print HeatnBond Lite Sheets for the
corner blossoms. If you do not like tracing out
the design on to the rolled fusible, I totally recommend
these.
The center flower needed to have the rolled fusible
due to its size.
For this quilt, I also used
Aurifil Thread #2370.
I usually try to match my thread to
the fabric I am appliquéing, but Joan
of Moosestash Quilting is always
using one thread for the entire quilt.
She inspired me to try it for myself.
I absolutely love the look with this pattern and fabric.
