Kim McLean's Lollypop Trees

Lollypop Trees Quilt 470x480

Kim is an award winning quiltmaker from Australia who features imaginative use of Kaffe's fabrics in her quilts. We have been huge fans of her work for sometime and are so pleased that Glorious Color is able introduce this, the first of Kim's glorious applique patterns, to you.

The Starter Fabric Pack: The original quilt has many fabrics that are long discontinued, so we included as many of the original fabrics as we could and, with Kim's guidance, augmented them with new Kaffe fabrics. We have bundled quarter yard pieces of Kaffe's fabric in enough variety to do most of the applique and sashing. Kim used many more fabrics, especially using scraps in the sashing. We encourage you to add your scraps to our fabric pack to add to the variety. The fabric pack does not include the background fabrics or pattern.

The Background Fabrics: The background fabrics for the blocks and the borders are pale pastels and off white neutrals. Our "Backgroud Fabric" section has a few to get you started. Choose one or many. The complete background requires a minimum of six yards. Note that because each block is made from a 21 x 21 inch square, you can make one or two blocks from a minimum of 3/4 yards of fabric.

The pattern for all 16 blocks and borders is available in one package. The pattern is 1:1 scale, so no enlargement is required.
