FLORIFEROUS QUILT
PDF Quilt Pattern
SKU: FQ0626D1
Inspired by a garden trellis smothered in an abundance of pretty flowers and foliage, the Floriferous Quilt includes a wonderful mix of English Paper Pieced Hexie flowers and applique…so lots of happy hand stitches! Hand sewing for me is such a restful activity and I have always believed that having a needle and thread in my hand contributes enormously to my general wellbeing, it enables me to lose myself in the repetitive process of stitching, relaxes my mind and make me feel happy. I hope you enjoy making yours as much as I did mine!
Finished Dimensions
66 ½” x 66 ½”
The A4 PDF Pattern includes:
An Introduction, where Sarah shares some 'little happy ' tips for her favourite techniques.
Step by step instructions for how to complete each block and how to assemble the quilt.
Full size templates for the appliques.
Printable EPP sheets for the two sizes of hexies
Fabric Requirements
Sarah loves to make scrappy quilts. An indication has been given below for the larger pieces required for the Quilt Top, Backing fabric, Binding fabric and Wadding. For the smaller block backgrounds and appliques, enjoy searching through your treasured fabric stash, the precious ones that you hang on to because you love them so much and select your favourites pieces to use.
For the feature fabrics used for appliques and EPP elements, you will need 3 yards of assorted fabrics. Layer cakes, fat 16ths and fat 8ths also would work well. Remember if you are going to fussy cut which is very effective for the EPP hexie flowers, that this does take more fabric.
1 ¾ yards Background fabric for the (off white on my quilt) Trellis Block Centre*
¾ yard fabric for the First Border (stripe on my quilt)
2 yards B for the Outer Border (beige on my quilt)
½ yard fabric for the ‘trellis’ bias stems and joining hexies on Outer Border
¾ yard for the Binding
74” x 74” Wadding/Batting
82” x 76” Backing Fabric
46” by FWOF for the Borders (allows a little wiggle room)
20” by FWOF for Binding
65” x 80” piece of Wadding/Batting
73” x 88” Backing Fabric
You will also need
Cottons Thread to match for the Applique & Machine Stitches
Cotton Threads for Hand Quilting
If you decided not to print the EPP papers yourself you will need (203) ½” hexie and (252) 1” hexie pre-cut papers
Additional Notions and Tools Required
Rotary Cutter & Mat, Quilting Rulers, Needles for the Applique and Hand Quilting, Applique Pins, Sewing Machine, Scissors, Hera Marker plus any of your favourite notions that I haven’t included for the techniques used!

Kind Words
"I love making Sarah's quilts. With her patterns you know you are in safe hands from the start. From the cutting of the fabrics to the completion of of the quilt, her detailed instructions guide you through in easy to understand steps and you learn all her tips on the way. I am delighted with my finished quilts (I've made a few, they are addictive ). My confidence in hand quilting has increased tremendously too along the way."

I do not enjoy Needle Turn Applique does that mean I can not make this quilt?
Absolutely not!!! We firmly believe that you should use quilting techniques that you enjoy. So, if you prefer the Interfacing Method of Applique or Raw Edge Applique then that is absolutely fine. To help, or if you are undecided, you can find video tutorials for all the three types of appliques in our FREE Beginners Guide to Patchwork and Quilting Course. Plus, there are various FREE applique projects on our blog for you to experiment with and find which technique is your favourite.
I prefer to machine quilt rather than hand quilt, does that matter?
No definitely not....machine quilt as desired if you prefer!
I like to hand piece rather than use a sewing machine, is that ok?
Of course, however, please note that the instructions are written and assume that you are machine piecing and using a 1/4" foot.
