Some quilt blocks just make you smile the moment you see them, and the Tulip Lady Fingers block is exactly that sort of cheerful little thing. In this video, Beth from my sewing room walks us through how to piece this charming floral block, all soft tulip shapes and slim, elegant lines that look like a tiny spring garden tucked into your quilt top. It is a lovely watch if you are craving a project that feels a little bit traditional and very joyful.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A sweet, recognisable floral block. The Tulip Lady Fingers design has all the warmth of a traditional floral quilt without feeling fussy, so it slots beautifully into both vintage-style projects and brighter, more modern tops.
- Friendly, step-by-step piecing. Beth takes the block apart piece by piece and shows you how each shape comes together, which makes it easy to follow even if floral blocks have always felt a little intimidating.
- So many sampler possibilities. The block stands on its own as a wall hanging or pillow, and it would be a gorgeous addition to a flower-themed sampler quilt or row-by-row project.
What colour would your tulips be, soft pinks and creams for a cottage feel, or bold reds and yellows for a sunny garden look? Tell us in the comments which palette you would reach for first.
