About This Design
Flowers Rise Again showcases digitized vintage-inspired flower motifs that repeat in a nested, edge-to-edge pattern across your quilt. The design is engineered with zero backstitching to maximize efficiency on your Bernina Q24 frame, reducing thread waste and frame time. Each row nests with negative spacing, so there’s no overlap or bunching—just smooth, continuous stitching from edge to edge. The pattern delivers strong stitch coverage that builds beautiful texture without looking heavy or overdone. At its standard 14 x 10.8 inch repeat, the design works well on most quilt sizes; you can enlarge or reduce it, though smaller scales require tighter stitch lengths to maintain crisp curves. This pantograph is compatible with all computerized longarm systems and comes in multiple file formats for flexibility.
Best For

- Scrappy charm packs and multi-fabric designs
- Floral or botanical quilt tops
- Modern quilts seeking organic, flowing texture
- Bed quilts and larger projects where edge-to-edge coverage matters
- Quilters wanting quick turnaround without sacrificing beauty
- Eclectic or mixed-era quilt designs
Thread Pairing
Flowers Rise Again pairs beautifully with thread colors that echo or complement your quilt’s palette. Neutral tones like cream, tan, or soft gray let the quilt fabrics shine while the floral motifs add subtle dimension. For bolder quilts, consider thread that matches your binding or a key fabric color to tie the design into the overall composition. Variegated or hand-dyed threads can add extra visual interest to the blooms without overwhelming the design. Avoid thread colors that clash sharply with your top; the goal is to enhance, not compete.
Density & Time on Frame
Flowers Rise Again stitches at a moderate density that builds lovely texture without excessive stitch count, making it efficient on your Q24 frame. Most quilters report frame time of 6–10 hours for a queen-size quilt, depending on batting type and your preferred stitch length. The zero-backstitching design means fewer thread cuts and less stopping, keeping your rhythm smooth and steady. Density is consistent throughout, so you won’t encounter surprise thick spots or thin areas that require adjustment mid-quilt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Flowers Rise Again on a small wall hanging or baby quilt?
Absolutely. The design can be scaled down for smaller projects, but remember that reducing the pattern also requires tighter stitch lengths to keep the curves crisp and defined. A baby quilt or wall hanging will showcase the blooms beautifully at a smaller scale. Just let us know your quilt dimensions when you request a quote, and we’ll adjust accordingly.
Does this design work on modern quilts, or is it only for traditional styles?
Flowers Rise Again works on both. While the motifs are vintage-inspired, the clean edge-to-edge format and lack of overstitching give it a contemporary feel that complements modern quilts with organic or botanical themes. Pair it with solid or low-volume fabrics for a fresh, updated look.
What thread colors do you recommend for a scrappy quilt top?
For scrappy quilts, a neutral thread like cream, tan, or light gray allows the blooms to add texture without fighting the fabric variety. Alternatively, choose a thread that matches your binding or a dominant color in your scraps. The goal is to let the patchwork shine while the quilting adds subtle dimension.
How long does Flowers Rise Again typically take to quilt on a Bernina Q24?
Frame time depends on quilt size and batting, but most quilters see 6–10 hours for a queen-size quilt. The efficient zero-backstitching design keeps you moving smoothly without frequent thread cuts or adjustments, so you’re not waiting around between rows.
Can I enlarge this design, and will it still look good?
Yes, you can enlarge Flowers Rise Again, and it will scale beautifully. Just remember that larger repeats require looser stitch lengths to maintain smooth curves. We’ll help you find the right scale for your quilt dimensions when you request a quote.
