Antique Tulip Applique Quilt

2/26/2022

 
Picture
Back in 2015, I came across this image of a tulip antique quilt (circa 1900) on the internet.  I suspect I saw it on either Pinterest or Ebay.  At the time I drafted the quilt in Electric Quilt 7.  However, I would actually draft it much differently today. 

​I will share the new and improved drafting of this quilt in today's video.

In the video, I will share:
  • how to rotate portions of a quilt image to aid in tracing
  • Using the brush stroke
  • Using the ellipse tool
  • Using a leaf shape
​Seriously -- the drafting of all these elements is super simple with the powerful tools in the applique worktable.
Here are the blocks and quilt from the video.

And if you wish to see the brush stroke taken to an entirely different level, check out Dorothee Ilgner's  project posted in the Tech Know Quilter group this month.

Tech Know Quilters January Showcase

One thing I hear over and over again is -- I didn't know you could do "that" using Electric Quilt 8.  One thing that holds us back from truly using Electric Quilt 8 is just not understanding that this versatile software can help you create any type of quilt.  I think you will be inspired by the quilts created by Tech Know Quilter members using Electric Quilt 8.​
Tech Know Quilters is a membership program focused on mastery of Electric Quilt 8.  We have members at all stages of their Electric Quilt journey.

If you would like to join this amazing group of quilters, you can sign up for the wait list here.

Lynne Maramieri I saw a photo of a quilt similar to this and using techniques learned in the Reproduction Quilt classes I designed this quilt.

Brigitte Lee I worked on lesson 7 of optical illusion and looking at Vasarely's painting I design the quilt below.

Sherri Cook My quilt is similar to the Beads quilt or the Chandelier quilt patterns. I drew the block, rotated the fabrics and used different floral color schemes for my little quilt.

Melissa Grote I created a quilt using several of the things we learned from Working with Fabric Images. I found 2 blocks that fit together, and another for the border. I imported fabric from a manufacturer's website and colored the quilt.
Julie Pedersen  I took the 1 block quilts and we created a block using a picture and straight edge shapes. Then we took those shapes and changed to to multiple triangles. For the class, I did Reno, one of our cats. Then for this challenge, I did Mia, another of our cats. (I think I have a thing for cats' eyes.)

Zdenka Nemethova In January I took Foundation Blocks Class. Learned a lot again and enjoyed every lesson ❤

Zdenka Nemethova Kari´s Shadow Hearts tutorial inspired me to do this small quilt, will try to sew it now.
Zdenka Nemethova  I also managed to finish this Valentine quilt - I drew it in EQ first. I put a heart block from EQ block library in the corners (paper-pieced). Only with the skills I gained during the Kari´s classes I was able to do it. Cannot imagine I could do this a year ago. Thank you, Kari

Pat Olivier I took the Masters Series 1 block quilts. We created a block tracing a picture with straight edge shapes. Then we took those shapes and changed them to multiple triangles. For this challenge I have used the Painted Tortoise. I tried to angle the triangles so that my shading would match the photo.

Gloria Worthen Jacobs There is so much scope in just adjusting little things such as colour. This is my result from playing around with the foundation blocks.

Edith Craig My class this month was Reproduction Quilts. I decided to adapt Painted Star with North Carolina Lily Baskets (ca. 1880) which is part of the North Carolina Quilts Project through the North Carolina Arts Council. I used various techniques that I have learned through this last year, including importing images, Easy Draw, and Applique, and set the resulting blocks into a quilt that closely resembles the historic one. It was quite a challenge, but I am pleased with the result. The photo of the historic one is included with my version.

Diana Nelson Knight I'm in the Mix & Match Medallions lessons. I've always liked Compass blocks and designs - so recolored and added a pieced border to one of the Compass blocks we worked on together.

Dorothee Ilgner In January I was in the Masters 'One Block Quilts' Class. It was great to see how the same design can be drawn either in easy draw or as applique. The use of the brush stroke in applique solved a long time design challenge for me. These birds are based on a work from the spanish architect Josep Jujol. Before the class I never got the applique shapes right. They always looked somewhat clumsy.

Patricia Hansen  Here is a foundation block I made after doing the loon in class.  Plus the quilt I made from it.  The original photo was taken in New Mexico in December while on a photo trip. These birds are quite large, but very graceful and beautiful fliers.

I love this quilt, and would love to make it with Rotary Cut Applique methods. Please let me know if you would like to do a joint FB live on this block and this quilt!
