Brimfield Blooming Star – Block Pictures

These are the 12 numbered Brimfield Blooming Star Blocks within the Brimfield Blooming Star EPP kit.

The Brimfield Blooming Star Quilt is a collaboration with us, the Brimfield Girls, and Free Spirit Fabrics. It is made up of 12 English Paper Piece (EPP) blocks that are appliquéd onto a background square. The pictures below are of each individual block and are intended to help those of you who are stitching the Brimfield Blooming Star Kit using the beautiful William Morris Fabrics from the Kelmscott, Merton and Montagu collections. The blocks are numbered above & below according to the pattern guide that came with your kit.

The fabric provided within your kit is enough to make each of these blocks. It is important that you realize that you should conserve space when you cut and avoid waste. Some of the fabrics are used in multiple blocks (and have a larger cut.) While some larger cut fabrics are provided because the distance between the repeat required a larger piece in order to achieve the proper fussy cutting. We are hoping that having access to larger pictures of each individual block will help you with your fussy cutting.

Please share your progress with us in our Private Facebook Page called The Brimfield Bee and be sure to use the hashtag #BrimfieldBloomingStar on Instagram so we can see your creations 🙂

Brimfield Block Tee X Patchwork Threads!

Did you hear? No??? Let me fill you in! We have teamed up with every quilter’s favorite Tee Shirt company, PATCHWORK THREADS, to bring you the #BrimfieldBlock v-neck tee!! The best part is that you can place your pre-sale order now and save 20% off the retail price 🙂 That brings the cost of each shirt down to under $20. Did we mention that they make great stocking stuffers? The only catch is that you only have through Sunday November 5th to place your order. After that, any extra they order will sell at the regular price until they sell out. So let your fingers do the walking on over to Patchwork Threads so you can pick out yours!

The Kwik Brimfield Tote

We are ***soooooo*** excited to let you know about our first collaboration! One of our favorite designers, Karie Jewell of @Karie_twokwikquilters on Instagram, teamed up with us to bring you the Kwik Brimfield Tote. Karie’s Kwik Superstar Tote is just PERFECT for the Brimfield Block. Take a look at the negative space within the Brimfield Block on this tote – see all those pieced stripes?

We teamed up with designer Karie Jewell to bring you this amazing tote!

The Kwik Brimfield Tote pattern includes Karie’s updated Kwik Superstar Tote instructions to include appliquéing a Brimfield Block. Also included with the pattern are the English paper pieces needed to make one Brimfield Block. This pattern is intended for the sewist familiar with EPP and has already made a Brimfield Block. If you are unsure how to do English Paper Piecing and need to learn how to sew the Brimfield Block, you can purchase that pattern here. Check out the other side of the tote below!

We will be picking up our patterns from Karie later this week at International Quilt Market in Houston TX and they will ship November 1st. If you would like to purchase a Kwik Brimfield Tote pattern with the included paper pieces, you can grab one here. We can’t wait to ship our all our goodies to you. We’ll be busy bees at Market and we hope you will follow us @BrimfieldAwakening live from Houston starting Thursday October 26!!

XO.
