About this pattern

TECHNIQUE - PLEASE READ FIRST: RAW-EDGE FUSIBLE APPLIQUE

This is a raw-edge fusible applique pattern. The templates print at FINISHED SIZE with NO seam allowance and NO dashed turn-under lines, and they come as numbered full-size layout sheets - not as separate cut-out pieces. You trace each shape onto paper-backed fusible web, iron it to your fabric, cut on the drawn line, peel, press it in place, and stitch over the raw edge with a blanket or narrow zigzag stitch. Paper-backed fusible web is required. This is NOT a turned-edge / needle-turn pattern, and there are no dotted seam-allowance lines to turn under.

This bold and joyful design bursts with the unmistakable beauty of Christmas poinsettias arranged in a curvaceous coral and pink vase. Four full blooms radiate outward in layers of crimson, hot pink, soft blush, purple, and orange, each crowned with a cheerful chartreuse yellow flower centre, while deep green and olive leaves weave throughout the lush bouquet. The background is a striking composition of deep charcoal black panels flanked by rich cranberry and dark burgundy vertical stripes, with a near-black horizontal surface beneath the vase, giving the whole scene a dramatic, theatrical warmth.

Every petal and leaf is rendered in the vivid, graphic style of folk art collage, making this a wonderfully satisfying project to piece together with fabric. The interplay of so many reds and pinks against the dark background creates a glow that feels genuinely festive, and the patchwork vase with its swooping curved sections is a delight to applique. This design would make a stunning seasonal wall hanging that celebrates the richness of a classic Christmas bloom.

🌿 Thank you for supporting a small independent quilt-pattern studio. Happy stitching - there's always something bright and beautiful on the way at WildbloomQuilts. 🌸

Every pattern in this shop is my own work, from the first line to the last page. I draw each design by hand as an original vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator, then develop it into a ready-to-sew applique pattern - every cutting line, every fabric colour, every template page and instruction. Each one takes time and a lot of care, and I hope that comes through when you stitch it.
