Customers say the extra squares give enough options to vary colors and hues from the pattern

"I plan on taking it in a Caribbean cruise in a few weeks as a side project to hand stitch. Also seeing my mother in Georgia. I haven’t seen her in almost 3 years. She was my sewing teacher growing up. She made clothing for other people to supplement my dad’s income. I can’t wait to see how it turns out!"

Top Quotes

"I loved how fun this was to put together, I kept changing squares to see different values. I’m very happy with it."

"I've never done a watercolor quilt before so I read the directions very carefully. I did use the grid interfacing as recommended. It came together quite quickly."

"However, one needs a large and diverse stash to accomplish this, and the kit was perfect. Everything except borders was provided."

"So far the directions are very clear, and once I laid it all out on the design wall, I moved the fabric squares around until I found what I liked. I haven’t gone farther than that yet because I’m finishing other projects."

"I laid out the design in my own way, and love this hanging on the door of my quilt room. I highlighted the heart in darker colors."

Heart in Bloom Watercolor Kit

Ready to try a watercolor quilt without the guesswork? The Heart in Bloom Watercolor Kit is an easy piecing kit built for quilters who have always wanted to make one but weren't sure where to start. Reviewers describe the pattern and graph as easy to follow, and many say the clear directions make the project quick and enjoyable.

Customers say the presorted background squares take the hardest part off the table. Instead of choosing and cutting dozens of tiny pieces, you get to spend your time on the fun part: sorting, arranging, and sewing. One reviewer put it simply: "Just the fun of sorting and sewing."

Playing with layout and color

Reviewers often mention the extra squares as a highlight. Several say they used them to rearrange the design, try different hues, or add rows to make the piece bigger. Laying everything out on a design wall before sewing is a popular approach, and one buyer said that once the squares were on the wall, "I moved the fabric squares around until I found what I liked." Because there are so many spare pieces, many buyers say no two finished quilts need to look alike.

Who it suits

Beginners are a big part of this crowd. Several reviewers say they were new to watercolor quilting, and they describe reading the directions carefully and taking their time. Experienced quilters use it too, often as a quick project between larger quilts. Customers also mention making it as a gift or hanging it in a quilt room, where it looks beautiful on display.

What customers made

Reviewers describe finished pieces that hang on a wall, sit in a quilt room, or go on as meaningful keepsakes. Many say it is a rewarding first watercolor project.

What an Awesome Project!

This was my 1st attempt at watercolor quilting, although it's always been something I wanted to do. However, one needs a large and diverse stash to accomplish this, and the kit was perfect. Everything except borders was provided. I had a lot of fun playing with the colors, but there are so many extra squares, another person could order the same kit and that piece would be different from mine. I might try another small piece again sometime.

So pretty and fun to make!

Beautiful. I wanted it a bit bigger so I added a few rows using the extra fabric provided along with some scraps of my own. I added my own black border that isn't included. After I decided on the layout for each row, I used painter's tape to cover the middle of each strip and numbered each row. This was very helpful to keep the squares organized.

Gorgeous fabric. And easy to put together so far

I am enjoying this kit so much! So far the directions are very clear, and once I laid it all out on the design wall, I moved the fabric squares around until I found what I liked. I haven’t gone farther than that yet because I’m finishing other projects. I also have so many squares left that if I purchased another kit, I could probably complete three. What I really liked about that was that it gave me more options when putting it up on the wall. It’s also beautiful just on my wall! I highly...

Great Project- you can make it your own

I laid out the design in my own way, and love this hanging on the door of my quilt room. I highlighted the heart in darker colors.

Loved this kit!

I've never done a watercolor quilt before so I read the directions very carefully. I did use the grid interfacing as recommended. It came together quite quickly. The fabrics and color shades were different from the picture but still came out in a pleasing way.

Feel cheated

Most of the fabrics I received in the kit did not appear in the picture and certainly very few red flower fabrics. I received fabrics depicting bunnies, geometric designs, and Christmas which isn't even close to what is shown in the photo. I had to supplement what I received at great expense. Wouldn't buy a kit like this again.
