As I said in a previous post, you have to really love this pattern (also known as Nosegay) to get even this far. (Here is an image of a full-sized one). I have these 5 blocks done, and I am making partial blocks to fill in the sides and corners. Then I am calling it a day. So many inset seams! All print fabrics are vintage. It's the only way to get the look that I want. The reproduction fabrics are mostly 'too pretty', if you know what I mean. viridian

This pattern is also known as Bride's Bouquet. So many inset seams! Even using the sewing machine this is a painstaking job. Though on the up side, I was concentrating so much on getting this done right, I forgot about other troubles and cares. I was cleaning out my sewing room and tossing stuff when I saw this pattern.

I probably have a dozen photos of quilts made in this pattern from the 1930s and '40s. It was quite popular despite its set-in Y seams. I never know where to file it because it's so miscellaneous.

They called it Bride's Bouquet or Nose Gay Quilt. The Laura Wheeler/Alice Brooks company syndicated a pattern--maybe a year or two…

This is a lovely quilt I just finished up for a great lady, friend and customer - Joan. I used a floral pantograph called "Flowering Pond" by Nancy Johnston. Legacy 80/20 batting and a beige polyester thread. This one was a bit of a challenge as the prairie points were already on the quilt so I had to be careful not to catch them when quilting. Fairly happy with the outcome.

The other day while I was sewing at 3 Dudes Deborah Engle and Karen Gilbert walked in with their recently finished Nosegay Quilts This is a traditional quilt block from the 1930's but they have modernized theirs with bright happy fabrics. Look at all of those beautiful Kaffe Fassett flowers and cute gingham black baskets! I love this quilt! Deborah just received her quilt back from the quilter so the sides had not been trimmed yet. She was in the shop getting tips on how to sew a bias…
