Description
Pieced ribbon bows and full, scalloped flowers trade places across a crisp white background in this cheerful patchwork sampler. The bows are stitched from ginghams and polka dots, the flowers from layered floral and dot prints with pieced petals, and slim green stems with heart-shaped leaves tie the two motifs together. The cover sample leans into a vintage British look using Cath Kidston prints full of tiny caravans, florals, and reds, blues, and greens, but the blocks carry just as well in any bright, happy collection. The result is sweet and a little nostalgic, the kind of quilt that pairs naturally with a pot of tea.
What the Pattern Includes
This listing is for the printed paper pattern only. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.
The pattern provides complete cutting and assembly instructions with diagrams for piecing the flower blocks, bow blocks, and stems and leaves, then setting them into the finished 55.5 by 73.5 inch quilt top.
This title is expected to be available in September 2026.
What You'll Need
Bows In Bloom is fat quarter friendly. Most of the flower and bow fabrics are cut from fat quarters, so a coordinated bundle is a good starting point. Plan for about 3 1/2 yards of background and border fabric, a little extra yardage for the green stems and leaves and the red bows and binding (roughly 1/2 to 1 yard each), and about 4 2/3 yards for backing. Full yardage by fabric is on the pattern back. The cover sample features the Cath Kidston Signature Collection by Cath Kidston for Riley Blake Designs.
Perfect For
- Quilters who enjoy pieced pictorial blocks and want a sampler with a clear theme
- Fat quarter collectors and fans of vintage-style or floral prints
- A spring or Mother's Day gift, or a bright quilt for a sewing room or guest bed
- Sewists comfortable with patchwork piecing who like visual variety
Why You'll Love This Pattern
The mix of motifs keeps the sewing interesting. Bows and flowers alternate, so the blocks never feel repetitive, and the pieced petals and ribbon loops give the finished quilt more dimension than a simple grid of squares.
Everything is pieced rather than appliqued, which means no fusible, no edges to turn under, and no hand stitching unless you want it. The shapes are built from familiar patchwork units, so confident piecers can follow the block diagrams without learning a new technique.
The white background does quiet work, giving the bows and blooms room to stand out and keeping a colorful set of prints from feeling crowded. Soft vintage florals give a cottage feel, bold modern prints give something punchier, and the same blocks deliver a very different mood.
