Flourish Climbing Flower Quilt in Flower Pot Fabric
I’ll let you in on a little secret – this is my all time favorite quilt I’ve made! I know, I know. I’ve said this before. But it’s true and I hope to say it again in the future! So why is this one so special? Well you see, I have a thing for flowers…
Flourish is not just another flower quilt. This one is different than anything you’ve ever seen before. These pieced blossoms are like fancy puzzle pieces. When they all come together, they create this amazing pattern of climbing flowers. I’m pretty proud of this one!
Flower Pot Fabric Color Options
I mocked up Flourish a couple ways and liked them so much both ways that I couldn’t choose a favorite. There’s the dark navy text background that allows for the cream blossom mix, or an ivory polka dot background to highlight the darker colors. Do you have a favorite or will you make both like I did?
Fabric is Flower Pot for Moda Fabrics due to arrive to shops April 2022. The pattern instructions are written to accommodate the specific unidirectional Flower Pot prints used for the cover quilts. Pattern instructions are available now as a PDF or printed booklet:
Flourish Climbing Flower Quilt Tips & Tricks:
Construction for the Flourish quilt is not difficult per se (think of easy corner triangle and half-square triangle techniques) but there are definitely a lot of pieces to manage. This makes organization essential! Be sure to label all of the pieces as directed in the cutting instructions (especially as they are written to accommodate the unidirectional prints). You don’t need anything fancy to label those pieces but I did happen to have some Alphabitties around and found them to be very convenient. Alphabitties are created by Fat Quarter Shop and are available to purchase here.

October 25, 2021 at 6:35 amI like both versions of Flourish, but I especially like the one on the taupe background. Flower Pot along with Folktale are my two most favorite fabric collections. Thank you so much for inspiring we quilters with your beautiful fabrics and patterns.

January 1, 2023 at 7:30 pmI was wondering if you could double check this pattern recommendation for backing fabric for this pattern. The pattern states 6.25 yds of fabric. I think this is more fabric than require.
