The desert rose is a flower that has been very successful due to its unique beauty, and many people dream of having it in their backyard.

Do you know what a desert rose is or Desert Flower Quilt Block? Well, the desert rose is a flower native to South Africa and belongs to the Apocynaceae family. It can grow up to 4 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide when cultivated in its natural environment.

This type of flower easily adapts to tropical countries, after all, they are plants originating from very warm areas. And in its shape the stem is thicker at the base because the flower originating in desert areas needs structure to withstand a lot of wind and reserve water. This shape makes the desert rose resemble a small tree with visible roots, it looks beautiful in the vertical garden as well.[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_5]

The desert rose is related to its mineral formation, which takes place through hydrated calcium sulfate. This means that the desert rose is a selenite species, originating from the term Selene, designating the Greek goddess of the moon.

Within this idea, it is believed that the Desert Flower Quilt Block can symbolize mental clarity, kindness, love, attentiveness, and tolerance.

What does the desert rose symbolize?

The desert rose plant when grown can symbolize kindness, love, mental clarity, attentiveness, tolerance, and success in business. Actually the meaning of a plant comes much further than just kindness or love and so on. To me the meaning of the desert rose is exactly what makes your heart scream when you see it.

Some patterns like these are very important to have in our collections, especially if you are looking for novelties for your customers and always keep new and the most beautiful ones. Another nice thing is that each pattern can be made in any way you like. What do you mean you might ask?

Well in my personal response I really like to make each pattern meaningful. Why do I think this way? The reason is that when we make something meaningful it becomes one of the best possible, the designs, the colors and even the purpose for which it was made becomes one of the best.

Another more important thing is that when we have clients we sometimes spend hours at the sewing or finishing machine to be able to do our best and thus maintain a beautifully made pattern. Let’s take a look now at our Different Twist pattern?

100% cotton fabric is the best fabric to make a patchwork quilt. However there are some preparations that we have to have before starting our projects. However, in this post I will teach you how to make patchwork in a correct way and without unexpected surprises.

To begin with always wash your fabrics before using them to see if any of them shed dyes or shrink (all cotton fabrics shrink a little). This simple procedure can prevent you from losing all your work. Although you can find good quality fabrics on the market, some can still give you a few scares. Try to wash them separately and let them dry in the shade without stretching the fabric.

There are people who like to iron the fabric and then cut them because it is easier to do so.
Iron the fabric by the length, folding by the width, this will help when cutting. This way you win, which is very important.

Buy quality fabrics, especially the tricoline fabrics, with their tighter wefts, they are thicker, which prevents them from losing their shape. Good quality fabrics add value to your pieces because of their quality.

Keep your fabrics separated by size, color, and away from dust and direct sunlight. Even scraps can be stored in organizer boxes. The more organized you are, the easier it is to find them. In the world of patchwork nothing is wasted, everything can be used and transformed into beautiful pieces! Remember, a finished patchwork quilt can never be stored in plastic Different Twist pattern free.

Make intelligent use of the fabrics to get the most out of each one. For in my time in patchwork I have found that we can make miracles with little fabric. Invest in plain fabrics that give a charm to the pieces and are also cheaper.

After choosing your project, separate the fabrics and cut squares, rectangles, and strips. Connect the sides right to right with a straight seam. If necessary, place pins to secure the seam. Don’t forget to open the seams when you are done. Make as many blocks as necessary to make the desired size of your quilt. A tip I give to beginners is to start by making baby quilts or blankets to cover or decorate.

Don’t look for perfection, Different Twist pattern free but do your best without exaggeration. With time you will naturally improve, discovering techniques to make your work easier, and we always have something to learn.PATTERN FREE: TUTORIAL PDF

Sampler quilts are so called because they sample many different and varied patchwork blocks and types of patchwork fabric. A sampler quilt can have examples of pieced patchwork blocks, appliqué blocks and paper pieced blocks such as clamshell or hexagons to name but a few.

The quilter will sort out different block patterns and choose those that complement each other and also that will show off her skills. In a class the tutor will make sure that each block included in a sampler quilt will be a learning curve for the pupil and stretch his or her abilities to the full, use of sewing machines can help speed things up.

There are so many traditional patchwork block patterns that sampler quilts can vary from maker to maker without any crossovers of patterns. Often sampler quilts will be made up into Quillows which is an American word which means a cross between a pillow (cushion) and a quilt using quilting fabric and quilt wadding and Strip Star Sampler Quilt Pattern is perfect.

Nine blocks will be made and sewn together with a tenth block sewn onto the back of the finished piece leaving one edge open. The quilt is then folded and turned into the tenth block through the opening thus forming the cushion.

Double Aster Block

The Double Aster Block is a classic design credited to Nancy Cabot. In Jinny Beyer’s book The Quilter’s Album of Patchwork Blocks, Nancy Cabot is said to have presented this block, which she called Double Windmill, in her Chicago Tribune column of October 26, 1936, and attributed it to an old Pennsylvania Dutch pattern pieced in Philadelphia as early as 1800.

Double Aster Quilt Block 2
Double Aster Block Quilt 
Nancy Cabot was on a roll — 2 weeks later, she added 2 triangles to each quarter-block and the new block became Double Aster. She “fertilized” Double Aster with 8 more triangles and a dozen squares and created a new block.

Double Aster Block
Double Aster Block
I fell in love with Double Aster in the late 1990s, when I used it in this sampler quilt. (Sorry this is only one section of the quilt. The blocks are 16 inches, it is a big quilt!)
At that time, we developed a Double Aster class plan that we made available to stores. It was great for learning about the triangles in Sets A and B because the block has 4 different sized triangles. I had made 8-1/2, 12 and 16 inch Double Aster blocks, but not a 6 inch block.
When I first saw Peony in the Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt book, I thought it wa Double Aster and assumed it looked different because it was so small. Then I realized Peony had more stuff going on at the edges, which seemed to clutter the design. That settled my decision to make Double Aster for my quilt and share it with you. By the way, it was only after I decided that I compared the number of pieces. Double Aster has only 37 pieces, compared to 57 for Peony — wouldn’t you rather cut, sew and press 37 pieces than 57?

Made with Set A, this is also a perfect block for our 8-1/2 inch mystery quilt. (Click the images for a larger view.)

Bonus Sizes

Double Aster is also a perfect block to demonstrate the versatility of the templates. You’re using From Marti Michell templates to make 6-inch blocks, but our basic sets (A through D) can make up to 4 sizes each of hundreds of block designs.
If you own Set A, you can make Double Aster in 3 sizes (6, 8-1/2 and 12 inches, finished). And you get 3 more sizes with Set B (8, 11-1/4, and 16 inches).

What’s the 2+2 triangles in the 12-inch block?  It’s triangle template A-2 doing a template trick! You can cut any triangle twice as big using this trick!  (It’s great for Flying Geese units, too — cut the 2 small triangles with the triangle template, then use this template trick to cut the center triangle!)

Lone Star Quilt Pattern Free

The Traditional Lone Star Quilt Pattern is one of the most recognizable quilt patterns in American quilting history, and with good reason.  The sharp 45° angles of the star quilt points are eye-catching and memorable, not to mention the enormous eight-point star is timeless and beautiful.

Lone Star Quilt Pattern

Lone Star Quilt Pattern
Lone Star Quilt Pattern

Lone Star quilts are characterized by their eight-pointed star in the center of the quilt top. Each side of the quilt has two large points that point north, south, east, and west.

Traditionally, the large 8 point star will be centered on the quilt top, though I have seen a few modern interpretations where the star is offset to one side.

For our Modern Lone Star pattern, we wanted to keep the tradition of having the star as the focal point in the center, but with different blocking and piecing to give it a fresh, contemporary vibe.

I found some fun facts about it and learned quite a bit about the importance of this particular pattern in US history. Other pattern Lone Star can see here.
  1. Before being known as the “Lone Star” pattern, it was known as the “Mathematical Star” in England and the East Coast of the US. Other names include Star of Bethlehem, Star of the East, Morning Star, and Blazing Star.
  2. Traditionally, the Lone Star is comprised of small diamond-shaped blocks.
  3. Texan quilters adopted the name “Lone Star” from the Native Americans who originally came up with the name. Texans called it the Lone Star quilt after they became the “Lone Star State.”
  4.  The Lone Star was (and still is) a complex pattern that can be tricky to master. “Y” seams are used to add fabric to fill the gaps between the star’s points and can be tough to manage.
  5. As pioneers traveled West, the women brought their quilting skills and community with them, which is how the “Mathematical Star” made its way West.

Another very interesting detail that in the case of this PDF in the image that you are or can see above notice that the clearest part as if it formed a river could say or an opening, you can leave the fabrics close together forming a symmetry so to speak.

Of course the pattern is very intense in what designer Osie Lebowitz really wants to pass on to her customers.[et_bloom_inline optin_id=optin_5]

There is something very interesting about all women and men who work with sewing. this detail that I particularly find interesting, even more so because I have been a seamstress for several years, is that we have a refined taste when it comes to finishing, sewing, fabric colors and color combinations.

You also think this way that every detail at the time of making a certain pattern you think, rethink and manage your thoughts to do what pleases your own taste, and when it comes to the end you remember that you are making for your client not for you?

In fact, I have already been through this in creating a pattern, in fact I reproduced a pattern for a client and I was placing the fabrics as I thought it was beautiful to my eyes so there I went undoing all the seams and placing fabrics in the positions that the client asked, at the time I was not angry, but you can be sure that.

I was quite shocked and having to undo half a job done!
my big tip for you as this pattern ends in 2022, is enjoy life have fun while you are healthy, try to work in the best environment possible, be happy, seek God while you have time to do it, and be assured that you will be very blessed that 2023 will make a difference in our lives![opd id=”262″]
