Lollypop love

It all began with admiring the quilts on this gloriousapplique blog. Then I bought the pattern for the Lollypop Tree quilt and a little bit later a quiltstore in Holland started a Kim McLean club. I decided to join this club together with a friend. It became more and more fun to work on the Lollypop Tree blocks and to buy those gorgeous fabrics to work with.

Last month I started the blog Kim McLean in Holland, but I’m very happy to be able to show my work on this blog now as wel, thanks to Janet!!

I downsized the pattern to 70% of the original and the blocks I work on are downsized to 75%, so the appliqued forms fill have a bit more space around them. The squares in the sashings will therefore be made at 1,5" finished and I understood it’s better to start cutting all those little squares now!!

    I saw pics of your blocks on the other blog, but didn't realize you had reduced the size. Your blocks are fantastic, with such nice fussy cuts! Each one is like a little work of art. Yes...cut a few squares as you are cutting your shapes then it won't be such a big job? : )

    What a great idea to resize the blocks, Nicolette. They're lovely. Your quilt is going to be so happy and fresh looking.

    Your blocks are gorgeous Nicolette. The background looks lovely too. I wonder what size the quilt will end up when finished?

    Your blocks are wonderful, I had so much fun working on the lollipops. I also really enjoyed putting the little squares around the blocks as I went, would like to see another picture as you add you squares.

    Thank you all!!!

    Janet: when I make the entire quilt it will probably measure about 70,5" square, that’s about 175 cm2.
