Knitted Blooms Quilt Along: A Blooming Journey in Community Quilting

A Cozy Invitation by Brittany Lloyd.

Lo & Behold Stitchery has created something truly amazing: the Knitted Blooms Quilt Along (QAL)! This eight-week stitching journey began February 8 and continues through April 5—perfect for quilters wanting to make something beautiful with friendly guidance and encouragement.

A Quilt Design That Comes into Bloom with You

Brittany designed Knitted Blooms as a sibling pattern to her best-seller Knitted Star, where inspiration was drawn from flowering blooms rather than star tips. As with all her other patterns, this one is fat-quarter friendly, uses simple strip piecing, and features three colorway options—Modern, Traditional (with the option of sashing), and a bright 4-color version.

Buildings 3D Quilt

Buildings 3D Quilt

A 3D Quilting Masterpiece from Architecture

This dramatic method takes simple geometric shapes and transforms them into a three-dimensional building effect. Triangles and strips are employed to construct quilt blocks that appear as if they're popping off the fabric—perfect for quilters who wish to add depth and visual appeal to their work.

Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial

Presented by Patchwork Fácil Brasil, this video lesson guides you through the entire process—from selecting fabrics to precise piecing that accomplishes the 3D effect. As a visual learner, the clear demonstrations allow you to easily learn this pattern.

Materials & Technique Highlights

• Fabric Strips & Squares: The quilt block relies on assembling different shapes—most often strips and squares or triangles—to form geometric buildings.

• Precision Piecing: Seam accuracy and alignment are essential to achieving the 3D effect.

• Dynamic Layouts: Having mastered the building block, you can experiment with repeating units in various configurations to construct city landscapes, mountain ranges, or imaginary landscapes.

Why Quilters Are Loving This Block

• Visual Impact: Unlike traditional flat quilt designs, this block offers depth and color—constructing a mini architectural landscape on fabric.

• Creative Freedom: Try color gradations or monochromatic color schemes to replicate alternative lighting conditions or structure shapes.

• Skill Building: Great exercise in accurate cutting, matching seams, and contrasting values—a great tutorial for quilters who want to improve their skill.
