Prim and Proper Sew Along Week 3

Since Lori Holt’s new book came out we’ve been oohing and ahhing over this charming quilt. Now it’s time to clear off the cutting table and put a fresh needle on the sewing machine because the Prim & Proper Sew Along starts next week! We are sew excited to launch this sew along for Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet’s newest book, Prim & Proper.

This week we’re going to sew the Large Leaves Block. Over the coming weeks, we’re making our way through this beautiful quilt and sharing our progress along the way.

The Large Leaves Block starts on page 12. Make one.

About the Quilt

Lori pulls beloved elements from vintage medallion applique and cross stitch to create an exquisite sampler quilt. The quilt features an elaborate vintage vase holding a sweet floral arrangement of flowers and leaves, surrounded by a colorful array of cross-stitches honoring a sister art. It’s sewn with traditional piecing techniques and it finishes at 63.5″ x 75.5″. There is no paper piecing or applique needed.

Fabric Requirements and Supplies

You will need your Prim & Proper book and some fabrics to make this quilt! You can find the fabric requirements and more details in our Kick-Off post. To create the cover quilt just like ours, pick up the Prim & Proper Quilt Kit and Backing Set.
