I made this quilt about 10 years ago, BC (before children) while living in Alberta. There was a fabulous little quilt shop there, where I learned to quilt. I took many classes, and this tulip quilt was one of them. I believe the pattern is by the Buggy Barn, not positive though. It was the first quilt that I ever appliqued, and the whole thing is hand quilted, which took a long time, but is so beautiful in person. I still love this quilt after all these years, love the deep purple of the tulips, and the different shades of neutrals on the back. There was one fat quarter I used that was sparkly snowflakes, that one was my favorite. I am just now posting this quilt because I wanted to share it on the
Bloggers Quilt Festival that Amy Ellis is hosting.

Love the applique. It is so pretty and subtle.
Oh my goodness!! This is impressive. I haven't tried hand quilting yet, but would like to some time in the future. You did such a fabulous job on this. I enjoyed the other items on your blog too...the cards and aprons are wonderful!
Lovely. Hand quilted!! Yikes.

OH ; this is absolutely LOVELY ! beautiful work !
I wanted to cry when I saw this photo, as I was part of the tulip quilt creating class. The unfortunate part is that my quilt still isn't finished! I absolutely adore this quilt though and forgot how beautiful it really is. Perhaps this photo will inspire me! Love ya J!
Lovely quilt. Have extended family in nova scotia. Never been there but it seems like a beautiful place to live! Thanks for sharing and have a great day
