I unlocked the door and stepped into the room. The full moonlight shone through the window, illuminating a small table with a beautiful blooming bouquet of flowers. I saw the vase reflected on the French doors. I stepped onto the balcony and looked to my right and saw the Eiffel Tower lit up above the rooftops.
I always try to find the story the fabric is telling me. The Blooming Bouquet panel designed by Suzanne Allard and QT Fabrics transported me to Paris.



The colors were so vibrant I didn’t want to distract from them. I added Star 60 units in pink (31244P), blue (3144B) and gold (31244O). I used coordinating fabrics of purple (31244V) on the left and green (31244H) on the right.
I used the rest of the fabric for the quilt backing. Blooming Bouquet measures 82″ x 65″. Blooming Bouquet will be in quilt shops September 2025.

It is so great that you can do what you love and find new ways to do it. I just love this one.
I just finished a Laura Heine inspired wall hanging quilt. I found a rabbit image on the internet that wasn’t copyrighted and made a bunny wallhanging. I just love it. Lots of cutting small flowers. I have a pet bunny living with me in an assisted living facility. I’m sort of bunny crazy. He is a quiet pet, but loves chewing paper and fabric. I am always so glad to recieve your new ideas. (I took your class at the Colorado River).. Maybe I will finish it next. I love it. ps when I moved, I brought as much of my stash and unfinished projects as I could along with 2 sewing machiines.
