The past couple days have been busy, with me getting my first customer who want a small quilt finished, and working on another quilt top for my mother-in-law who is developing quilt patterns to sell. So now I have time to work on a designed this Queen size Tulip Quilt in EQ7! The tulips will be machined appliqued on 16" blocks with 4 patch chains blocks in the middle all set on point.
The background color will be a white, with 2 different pinks and a green. I will be using Robert Kaufman Fusions and P&B Textiles Suede all 100% cotton fabrics.
I have the layout template ready and have cut out the templates, now I just have to cut out all the soft shade fusible.
When I finish this quilt, I will be selling it, the Price will be set later after I calculate the cost of materials and the time it takes to make it.I will be posting the complete progress of this quilt as I go, I will be making a new tab at the top of the page that will display the complete progress of this Tulip Quilt.Tina

Anyone that hates to do math to figure out how to much yardage you need for your quilt, needs to try out this neat tool. The QuiltingCalc, App by Robert Kaufman, also known as the "The Quilter's Little Helper, Essentials Quilter Calculators.". This app is available for both Apple or Android device and it is free.I have been using this calculator for all of my projects lately, to get yardages and cutting requirement help. This calculator has several great features for quilting. Here is just a few I use regularly:- Backing and Batting - app determines how much yardage you will need to use to make the backing and batting for your quilt, by specifying the width and length of the quilt top and overage you want on the quilt.
- Binding - you specify the width of the fabric, what size binding strips, and dimensions of the quilt. The calculator will determine the amount of yardage, total binding length, and strips or square you need for both of a regular or bias bindings
- Borders - Shows you how much yardage, strips width, how many to cut, for up to 4 borders for you quilt top. It will also let you know the Overall width and length of the top will be after the borders are on the quilt.
I just touch on a few of the great features on this app. I think this a great for all quilters, so I hope you give it a try.
The app can be found here: iTunes and Google play
Hope you enjoy it,Tina
