Bittersweet Blog Tour

It has been so fun to see all the amazing projects 
that have been created using 
Sue Daley's Bittersweet fabric line!!!
I feel privileged to be part of the
Bittersweet Blog Tour.

Sue Daley has created beautiful designs with a brilliant, 
colorful, youthful, inspiring and fun color palette.
Bittersweet can be purchased here at Riley Blake Designs.

My favorite part about working with Bittersweet was the amount of design and color you can cut in a small piece. That's why I chose to do a mini churn dash block which measures 3" when finished. 



This new quilt pattern using Bittersweet is called "Prosperity".
The pattern will be available through 
Butterfly Kisses Pattern Company 
and is available at your local quilt shop.

This is the quilt center where you can see 
how tiny the 3" blocks are.

I used the gold swiss dot for the background fabric.

Needle turn applique is one of my 
favorite methods to applique. 
I added lots of borders with appliqued 
flowers, leaves and vines.

                                                                                

                               

I love using Sue Daley's glue pen and needles 
for my applique which you can also 
purchase at Riley Blake Designs 
or through Sue at Patchwork with Busyfingers.

I love how the rich charcoal and white stripe seems to ground all the bright and bold colors in this Bittersweet fabric line!

I even used the charcoal stripe for the binding cut on the bias.

The quilt finishes about 59" square.

I took a lot of photos trying to find the perfect 
photo for my pattern cover.

I'm only showing a few of the many that were taken...LOL
