Quilt a modern blooms wall quilt: Here’s what you need to get started by Sarah Vanderburgh February 21, 2022 written by Sarah Vanderburgh February 21, 2022 345 It’s time to sew for spring! At least, that’s what I’m doing this week. Winter keeps my garden blanketed for a few more months, but I’m already dreaming of the day the daffodils pop through with their bright yellow petals. This week, I’m pairing my enthusiasm for spring weather with the precision of the PFAFF performance icon to make a wall quilt. A nice, bold, bright one with lots of stitches to make me feel all groovy! PFAFF performance icon Whatever colors you choose, enjoy the process of adding layers of texture with the built-in stitches of the performance icon.
