FRENCH BOUQUET QUILT” - Rosemary Youngs

“FRENCH BOUQUET QUILT”

By Nancy Page

“The Nancy Page quilt club members had scarcely been able to contain their impatience
and curiosity. They did so want a hint as to the new quilt. But Nancy had proved adamant.
No advance information had she given. But now the day had arrived and the quilt was being
shown to them.

Amid a chorus of “oh’s, “ “ah’s” and “how perfectly beautiful” she showed them her newest
quilt. It was made on egg shell or ivory white gingham. It had twelve bouquets, each one
different and each one tied with a French ribbon-like bowknot.

There was a frame of plain material with beautiful quilting and then came a border made
up of one tiny bouquet after another, arranged primly but each with its own bowknot.

In the center of the quilt were three crosswise rows and four lengthwise rows of fifteen inch
square. On each one was appliquéd a bouquet. The pattern for the stems, leaves and
bowknot is the same for every bouquet. But the flowers themselves are different. In each
bouquet there are pink and blue for-get-me-nots which add a rhythm of repetition. And in
each bouquet there is some pink, blue, lavender, rose, yellow and apricot. So the whole
effect is that of a garden rich in summer blooms showing all the pastel shades which Nature
uses when she makes a quilt of a landscape or a garden. The edge of the quilt may or may
not be scalloped. But as Nancy said, “We won’t get excited about the finish for the edge
before we have started the quilt. Before we meet next week provide yourselves with nine
yards of ivory white or white for the top. From this cut twelve squares, each fifteen and one
half inches by fifteen and one half inches.

“Next week the pattern for the first bouquet which is to be appliquéd on one of these
square will be given.”

Nancy intended to say more, but the quilt club members kept on looking at the quilt,
admiring it, asking questions about its ease of making and so on. Nancy let them talk and
admire to their heart’s content. Next week she knew they would make up for lost time by
starting work on a gorgeous bouquet.”

- Material Required -

9 yards of material for top (egg shell or white)
2 ½ yards of medium dark green
2 yards of a lighter shade of green

(Be careful to get harmonizing shades of green)
½ yard of pale pink
½ yard of pale blue
½ yard of a blue just a shade darker

GENERAL DIRECTIONS

(As given to the Quilt Club members by Nancy)

- Tracing, Cutting and Applying Appliqué Pieces to Block -

Cut twelve fifteen and one half inch squares from background material. The half-inch
disappears in the seaming.

Fold a square into fourths to get the exact center of the block. Make a light pencil mark at
center. This corresponds to the point marked “A” in the pattern.

Take a plain white sheet of typewriter paper and fold it into halves crosswise. Lay the
paper on the printed pattern so that the lengthwise fold is in line with the lengthwise dotted
line on the printed pattern.

Using a soft pencil trace the design onto the typewriter paper, paying no attention to the
dotted lines or numbers on the original. Fold the paper now on the center crease so that the
tracing just made is on the outside of the paper.

Holding the folded paper to the window with the pencil mark side on the pane, trace the
design on the side of paper nearest you. When you unfold the paper, you will have the
completed bouquet as shown in the small drawing.

Next thumbtack the cloth to a drawing or clean pastry board. Lay the design over it and
with a pencil make a very light marking on the cloth to show where appliqué is going to go.

Next take the typewriter paper pattern and with carbon paper make a tracing on heavy
paper or lightweight cardboard of each numbered piece separately. Number each piece as
numbered in the original as it is traced. To get the shape, follow both the heavy and the
dotted line. The dotted lines indicate the piece of material which goes under another piece of
cloth. Trace each piece separately so tracings can be cut apart and used as cutting patterns.
The center pieces which fall on the fold line of the design show only half of the pattern. Be
sure to make these pieces double in size.

No seams are allowed. In cutting the cloth allow one-eighth inch on all sides.
The dotted lines representing leaves at the base are used to show placement of the leaves
given in Block No. 2. These leaves are used in each of the twelve blocks. So is the same
bowknot, although each bowknot is a different color.
In appliquéing the flowers, leaves and bowknots turn in raw edges, baste and press. Pin
each piece in place on the cloth pattern in the order in which they are numbered and then
appliqué using a fine hemming stitch or a fine slipstitch. Use No. 80 or 100 white thread.
Press after the bouquet is finished.
Colors to be used and any special directions needed are given with each block.

- Appliquéd Border -

For appliquéd portion of border cut two strips from background material, one for each side
of quilt, 94” long by 6 ½” wide. Cut one strip for bottom portion of border 77 ½” long by 6 ½”
wide.

Make the bowknots all alike in the border. Nancy chose a fine green and white check
gingham. You may make each bowknot of different green print materials as indicated in the
drawings. Using one material only gives unity to the border.

When appliquéing the flowers on the bottom border strip, the best plan is to put the center
pair on first, being sure that they meet in the exact middle of the quilt. Then work the other
flowers out from there.

When you reach the corners, place them with a curving stem as shown in Block No. 14
which is the harebell. You may have to adjust the stem to fit your strip. That is why I told you
to put the pair of flowers at the center first and then work out and do the spacing according to
the length of your strip.

The flowers on the bottom border strip start with the harebell as the bottom strip joins the
side. Then comes the buttercup, the trillium, the cosmos, the star flower and the wild rose in
the center. Other flowers may be chosen at will. The only one that is best to use in the
harebell because the original picture showed the way to curve the stem and fit the flower in.
