The grass is starting to green, the trees are starting to bloom and the flowers are starting to emerge in my yard. This tells me that this week’s design is perfectly timed. Allow me to introduce the Spring Tulips quilt block.
Tulips have always been one of my go-to flowers. There is something about them that says I’m a rock star but in a casual way. I love to buy them in bunches on a solid color to give as gifts.
Spring Tulips Quilt Details:
The finished spring tulips block is available in two different sizes that measure:
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
- 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)
To say that visiting a tulip farm when the season is in full bloom is on my bucket list would be an understatement. Something about seeing those fields full of color would be so inspiring!
Materials & Tool Supply List:
- Assorted Scraps: Yellows, Greens, and Background Prints
- Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
- Heat erasing marking tool
- Spray starch
- Sewing machine
Pulling fabrics for this block was beyond fun! I love the happy look the yellow brings to the block, almost like sunshine.
But the best part is that assembly is a breeze! The block uses basic techniques like simple patchwork, stitch and flip sewing, and flying geese. Here is a video to walk you through the block each step of the way!

Spring Tulips Quilt Block
This easy to make quilt block is available in 12″ & 6″ finished sizes. It is perfect for using up your smaller scraps and fussy cutting your favorite prints.
This block can really be made in any color story you can dream up and I can’t wait to see what fabrics you choose. Since I love playing in EQ8 and want to inspire you, here are a few options. What a difference swapping the low volume background for a light gray makes.
Remember, if you are an EQ8 user, the Spring Tulips quilt block is part of my EQ8 Add-On Four Seasons. Just think of all the quilt tops you can dream up with 40 of my favorite seasonal blocks!

Got an email about an update. Just wondering what changed.
Hello Lee Ann,
Thank you for your note. The update was a simple letter change under the cutting section. I inadvertently switched transposed two letters.
Enjoy the pattern!

I can not figure out how to download the “Free” Spring Tulip Block. I found it for sale for $3.50, but it is supposed to be free all week. What am I doing wrong?
Hello Colleen,
Thank you for your interest in my designs. It appears that you have missed the window to download the Spring Tulips quilt block for free. Luckily, a new block has been released and for a limited time, you can download that for free.
Enjoy,
Heather
Couldn’t find the free pattern for the tulips. Been trying to for a couple of days now, just figured I wasn’t hitting the right button. Guess I need some help 🙂
The Easter Egg link seems to be the same as the Celtic block.
