APQ Quilt Along
As I walk through my house searching for anything mauve or purple, I realize I don’t own a thing. Maybe that’s why this quilt has been so much fun. The colors are a refreshing change for me.
I added two little birds to my applique basket. They seem to go with the vintage feel of the quilt.
And then I added a border…a purple one!
Borders are the hardest part of a quilt for me. I debate over what fabric to use until I drive myself crazy.
This print looked too large,
and this one too small.
I ended up picking this one…the scale is good and I love the print.
My quilt is finally at the quilter and it’s such a good feeling!
If you’d like to add the applique block to your quilt, you’ll find the pattern below:
The fabric I used is called Plum Sweet by Blackbird Designs. The bundles are just arriving at quilt stores now and the yardage will ship in March. I’ll show you the finished quilt after it’s quilted and bound!

I just wanted to say that out of all the quilts I have seen in this quilt along, yours is my absolute favorite. I love the vintage feel and the appliqué blocks. I don’t have purple in my house, but I love this BBD fabric line. I definitely am using yours for inspiration. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing it completed.
