❀ Plum Blossom Quilting ❀

My sister, Quilter Bonnie, made this quick quilt from a stack of indigo blue and off-white charm squares.

Bonnie requested some quilting that would spice it up a bit:


With so many Japanese prints in the mix, I definitely wanted to do an Asian edge-to-edge design. This one is simply called "Plum Blossom".

Longarm quilters love extra-wide backing!

We used wool batting, to keep the recipient warm. I love that wool batting is washable!

Great job, Quilter Bonnie! This will make a lovely gift.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

    Nancy, the Plum Blossom quilting is so beautiful and it really makes this quilt special. Thank you for taking the extra time in quilting this. My mother-in-law is going to love this quilt.

    You just know which design will be perfect on each quilt! I like the simplicity of this quilt and it would be a perfect one for a guy. I will have to pin for an idea for donation quilts(if your sister doesn't mind?)

    Stunning quilt, and I love Japanese fabrics! That plum blossom quilting is so beautiful. Did you do that freehand, or is there actually a plum bossom panto? Great job to you both!

    Oooh, I love this quilt. I have a stash of 5" squares of Asian fabrics which would be perfect for this pattern. Your sister and you make a great team, I love the plum blossom pattern.

    Lately, I have been drawn to blue and white quilts. Maybe I should add one to my "to do list". Your quilting and the fabrics make this one fabulous!

    Very pretty quilting design--perfect for the top! I have been meaning to try wool batting, but haven't had a chance to try it yet--hopefully soon!

    "Plum Blossom" is so pretty - reminds me of Cherry Blossoms! Beautiful quilt!
