It's a FREE pattern... & even though it was completed several years ago I just loved it... BUT ...
this is the first chance I've had to work on it myself.
All you need to purchase is Lori Holt's BLOOM templates.
You could even use up LoTs of your scraps if you didn't want to purchase any fabric.
I'm using left over fabric from charm packs & a jelly roll in similar colours that I've had for ages...
& I will make mine larger to suit a queen size bed by simply added extra blocks or borders.
Each 81/2 inch block is appliqued using either fusible OR needle turn by hand OR machine method.
You get to choose the method you like to use.
Think of it as a FuN encourage-along really, but at the end of say 6 months we will have a really sweet quilt to show for our efforts.

I think this could be fun. I'll be ordering my templates shortly followed by digging through my stash! Let's see how many we can get on board this Encourage-along!!!!
Hi Dory its a lovely pattern but i have a few quilts on the go that i hope to finish next year.
Lori's designs are lovely and i look forward to watching you progress on yours.xx
It’s great to have your company...
Here’s hoping we can gather a few more quilters before we start too.
xox
Oh yes please... Love Sew-A-Longs and it will be a lovely quilt to display at our Quilt Hanging in October....
Will checkout what templates I need now.
Thanks Cheryll.
Glad to have you sewing along ...
I do love Lori Holt. However, I am working on Quilty Fun that I purchased a very long time ago and finally decided to start it a few months ago. I think I only have 6 rows completed so far. There are so so so many little pieces! Hopefully I can get it finished this year. I will enjoy watching your progress though.
It looks a great project. I will look into how I can get the templates in the UK and might just join you. Six months is a good time too. :)
I'm in. I have the templates and the other bits and pieces and going to use fabric from my plentiful stash. Look forward to a stitchalong in 2019. :) x
Cheryll I checked out the link and it said the templates are not available anymore... any ideas how to purchase them please.
Did you try Etsy or Shops.
I found a few places.. so I will email you... xox
Thanks so much Cheryll but my dance card is full.....AGAIN Lol!
I would love to join in with you but here can I get the Bloom templates. Postage puts the cost up too.:(
i"m in....a little late but hell.....whatever! lol I'll see if I can find the templates and the pattern, or if you have a link that would be awesome!
xox sugary hugs sounds fab!
This looks fun, but is there anywhere in Australia you can get the templates, do you know? I found them at the Fat Quarter Shop, but they want $25 (US) for postage.
I have the templates and haven't gotten around to making them. Would love to join you!
