Tulip Swirl


OK - in the spirit of honesty - I broke down on Sunday and made a few of the Tulip Swirl blocks that Bonnie Hunter shared Friday.  Every July she releases a free pattern for a Leader/Ender project, and this is what she's doing in 2026. She even shared several different layout ideas for them.  


Ironically, the block units (2 squares/2 HSTs) are nearly identical to those I'm using for the Gleam QOV blocks.  For Gleam I'm using 3.5" squares, and for Tulip Swirl she is using 2.5" squares.  And the layout will be different for the tulips too.  

The reorganization project in my sewing room has unearthed a bunch of "orphan" jelly roll strips left over from various projects.  I used a couple of them for the Tulip Swirl units, and even had enough of that green one to cut the 2 pieces needed for a Ticker Tape block. 

I know there will be many more of these blocks at some point, but for now I need to get back to work on some other on-going projects.
