I gave my sister my original Blossom quilt (happily) yet I missed it so much, I determined if I ever found the AMH border fabric again, I would remake it. At Road last year, I found the exact fabric; the personal challenge was on, and now it’s finished.
This is quilt #322, and is titled Florere, the Latin word for bloom (or so the internet says). I used a combination of all Anna Maria (and AMH fabrics), Soft and Bright batting, and I quilted it myself using a combination of Superior Magnifico thread and YLI Elite thread.
I cut out the 12″ size from my pattern. While many fabrics are similar, there are some changes, as Anna Maria had made some different ones that I wanted to use (like the coneflower fabrics).
There’s that border fabric. I started cutting this out in February 2026, only a month after Road (not bad).
While the top gets finished and pinned, it takes me a while to think of ways to quilt it. I went a little swirlier in the yellow-green petals. (That fabric is a Painter’s Palette Solid.)
Pattern can be found here.
I liked it so much, that earlier I made another one, smaller and for springtime. All four sizes are in the pattern.
A little stained-glass view for you.

There’s that pattern I love so much! I’m so glad I have it in my possession, now just need to make it! I love all your versions – they are just spectacular. I have to say, my favorite is that first one!
Oh Elizabeth I think I like this one the best! Those colors! And your quilting in the petals is perfection.
I love it! So good in all the AMH!!
Oh, it’s beautiful, Elizabeth. I love the combination of free motion quilting with echoed lines to emphasize the shapes and beautiful piecing without overwhelming the prints – it brings it together so well!
Fabulous, fabulous! The pattern, the colors, the AMH fabric and that quilting, all perfection‼️
This is a stunning quilt. I like all your versions but this is my favourite. I love those fabrics and your quilting is amazing 🙂
Such a pretty quilt, and I’m glad you were able to find the fabric! This one is on my list, my very lengthy list of quilts I want to make!
Love this version. Those colors are fabulous. Your quilting looks so nice too. Hope you are staying cool there!
This is my favorite version! It’s a lovely mix of prints with that one solid – just right! It reminds me why I am rarely happy using only solids in a piece and why choosing prints to mix is one of my favorite parts of the process.
This is beautiful, and the quilting is amazing!
