This is my Morning Glory base and I'm hand stitching my heart out today. These blocks need some detailing and attention.

Meet my newest quilt pattern. It's a blooming beauty! Here we have a quilt that's just inviting itself to cozy up a bedroom. The centre is an applique arrangement of beautiful flowers, freshly cut from a garden teeming with ladybugs, bees, daisy chains and blooms! And the colours - oh the colours..where do I even start? This is a pattern you can really trust with those prints you love to pieces but don't want to cut up because they're so pretty. I know you know what I mean! To make things even better, the shapes are large and easy so that even applique novices can feel confident and the simple hourglass blocks bring all your favorite fabrics together to frame your lovingly made applique blocks. Are you in love yet? Quilts this pretty are simply impossible to forget. You've already seen my idea for a grey chambray background (above) to make your fabrics pop. But what about a creamy light background to play up the charming blocks that just beg for your attention with all their little details? And I can also see this quilt coming into it's own in reproduction fabrics too. Fabrics old or new, this is a beauty that's just waiting for your special touch. The finished size of 68 x 80 inches makes it perfect for a single bed. And who wouldn't love a bed covered in this cheerful, loving quilt? #EstherAliu #Cherish #Applique #Quilt

Lots of renewed interest in this scrappy quilt in the last 48 hours, I wonder why? I mean don't get me wrong, I love it too.. I'm just curious! #stashbustingstars #scrappyquilt #estheraliu #quilt
2 years after I designed Stash Busting Stars, I actually got around the making it. But I had so much more fabric to bust by then, so I modified the pattern to stick the stars on a background and then use up even more fabric by adding sashing. I think it looks fabulous and I'm also going to add an extra border or 2 to really get as much out of it as possible. If you're interested in how I modified this pattern, simply click on my Stash Busting Stars archive over on my blog to read all blog posts associated with this gorgeous and friendly pattern. #stashbustingstars #scrappyquilt #estheraliu #quilt
And this is what the back looks like.. #stashbustingstars #scrappyquilt #estheraliu #quilt
