Lilies Blooming

Have you ever made a quilt with lilies?  With slender graceful lines and pure colors, they certainly add beauty to your projects.

Calla Lilies, with a stained glass look, seem to bloom right out of this wallhanging.  From Designs by Edna, fusible web and fusible bias tape are used with Edna’s clear instructions, including a numbering system for laying out the bias tape.

These Lovely Lilies are usually seen in large clusters along the country roads or in wide borders and the splash of color is beautiful. Surrounded by a pieced border this single stem boldly shines on its own.

Cottage Lily combines machine applique lily blocks with chain blocks.  I like the way the fabric choice for the chain blocks allows them to fade to the background and softly surround the flowers. 

Beautiful as a baptism or christening quilt this Whole Cloth Quilt features lilies of the valley and calla lilies.  One of the swags can be substituted with the baby name and a date.  This quilt is sure to become a family treasure.

Lilies in the Field is made entirely from piecing – not one bit of applique.  Lily blocks alternate with a modified Double Irish Chain.   Instructions are included for a bed size (74″ x 98″), a lap size (50″ x 74″) and a tablerunner (20″ x 44″).

And . . . just for fun . . . Your Pad or Mine?  with two flirting frogs each on their own lily pad.  A third lily pad floats nearby.  Constructed with paper piecing.
