Years ago, I sketched up a tulip quilt block that I later turned into a pattern <i>(click here for<b> <a href="https://payhip.com/b/b0L7">the terrific tulip</a></b>) </i>to sew a 12" block. I stitched together a few versions of my block and tucked them away, with the thought that one day I would love to sew a quilt using this block. Each Spring, I would look at those blocks and feel a bit guilty that I still hadn't taken the time to work out a quilt design featuring them, but kept putting it off. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Intrigued, I kept playing with the block design, eventually settling on a mini quilt design, showcasing a smaller scale<i> (slightly modified - with multiple sizes) </i>version and released the <a href="https://payhip.com/b/rsug">Tiny Terrific Tulips Mini Quilt </a>pattern in April of this year. My pattern testing lead to lots of tulip block sewing with various fabric combinations. I have always been drawn to scrappy quilting, so no surprise that the versions I loved most from my experimenting, were the scrappiest ones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><span></span><a href="https://sewmesomethinggood.blogspot.com/2021/06/twilight-terrific-tulips.html#more"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Katherine
