“Trip Around The World” is such a classic and timeless pattern, and it always looks different depending on the fabrics in the quilt. This version was made by Ruth, and I quilted it with a simple pantograph called “Fleur de Swirl”.
Have you ever made a Bargello quilt? I haven’t and I am not sure if I want to, but I certainly enjoy looking at them. This one was made by Peggy, and she chose the modern pantograph “Taj Mahal” to finish her project. I think this pattern works especially well with Bargello quilts.
Mary made this small quilt with eight-pointed stars as a gift for a friend. I had fun filling all the negative space between the stars, it was a fast and satisfying project to work on.
This cute quilt was also made by Maureen. Aren’t the animal panels just adorable? I quilted it with a pattern called “Sun Scallops”, just right for a summer safari.
Happy Canada Day! It seems it took forever this year for summer to arrive. With this crazy weather we have had, everyone in my gardening group is complaining about what went wrong for them this year, and I could also tell quite a few stories like that but have decided to instead talk about what worked well. The peas loved the cool weather, and I ended up with a wall of peas, higher than ever before. I have started picking the pods, and I will be very busy for the next few days blanching and freezing peas. The potatoes were also fine with the weather, the first variety has started flowering. And I managed to harvest some broccoli before it bolted. The head were fairly small but at least I caught them in time and was not greeted one morning by a field of yellow flowers, as so many others experienced this year.
And in the spirit of gardening, our bunny friend is planting seeds this month. The pieces for the seeds are big enough for fusible appliqué but you can always choose to embroider French knots or maybe use some beads or other embellishments instead. The block will be available for free download until the end of the month and move to the pattern store when the August block is released.
EDIT: The month of free download is over, and the block has moved to the pattern store where it is now available for purchase. If you just need the finishing instructions, they are still available for free download.

Here is another quilt I quilted with the circle pattern “Champagne Bubbles”. Curves, swirls and circles work really well for geometric quilt patterns with lots of straight lines and sharp angles. This one was made by Maureen in a rainbow of colours.
This charming quilt was made by Bonnie. She mixed modern fabrics with a few more traditional floral prints and added a solid light background for a modern look. The quilting design she chose is called “Champagne Bubbles”.
“Vintage Tin” is a Crabapple Hill pattern, and this beautiful version was stitched by Sandra. I didn’t have a pantograph that looked like tire tracks, so we settled on “Celtic Scroll” instead, claiming it looked a bit like hubcaps. Maybe it was just our imagination, but it is a simple scroll pattern that worked well for the quilt.
This is the last of three quilts that Angela of Cozy Cottons Quilting dropped off for quilting at the same time, a great pattern to feature a fabric that you don’t want to cut into tiny pieces. She chose the design “Diagonal Plaid Bias Cut” to finish her project.
