Cross-Stitched Tulips Quilt Top

Posted on February 4, 2011 by Martha

These pretty vintage tulip quilt blocks are from Barbara at Oodles and Oodles, who always finds the best stuff. They were stamped on a heavier type muslin and stitched with green and a variety of pink colored floss. I knew they would look good with a couple of vintage chintz fabrics I already owned — a solid green, and a wonderful tulip stripe. The quilt is 56″ x 56″ and made as a throw, but I think it would also make a nice table topper. It will be hand quilted, but I haven’t decided on a pattern.

This is another Christmas gift — part of Allie’s Christmas Through the Year Club, which has really inspired me to get these presents done a little earlier this year.

    So pretty! I love how you set the blocks into a quilt. I don’t think you could have gotten better fabrics..no matter when this was made? 🙂

    Wonderful tulips!
    Your comment about a heavier cotton reminded me that 80 years or so ago in my family the embroider on heavy cotton was used to make summer bedspreads. Now that I machine quilt, I’ve thought about machine quilting some of the to extend their lives even further.
