Hi Janome friends! I'm Melanie from Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff and A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog. Today I'm sharing my Bloom Pillow Project on the Janome Project Page (here).
The Bloom Pillow is such a fun, beginner‑friendly project and it practically radiates spring energy! I especially love the tulip‑inspired design of the quilt block. Because it’s a larger block, it’s the perfect excuse to show off those cheerful spring prints you’ve been saving. I used Summertime designed by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics.
I stitched up my Bloom Pillow on my Janome M17, and honestly, I’m smitten with how beautifully it handled every step. This project is enjoyable from start to finish.

To help you sew along with ease, I created a downloadable PDF for the Bloom Pillow.

My Quilting Method: I chose to free motion a free-hand meander design with my Janome M17.
- My Preferred Foot: Janome Darning Foot (open- toe) PD-H. Other feet options for free motion quilting: Free motion quilting closed-toe foot QC, Free motion quilting open-toe foot (QO), A.S.R closed-toe foot ASR-QC, or A.S.R open-toe foot ASR-QO)
- My Preferred Free motion setting: Sewing Application -> Quilt -> Free motion -> Straight Stitch
- I prefer to use the Janome Darning Foot (open-toe) PD-H with the default Free Motion Quilting setting on the Janome M17. The settings are perfect and I don't need to make any adjustments for perfect stitches! If you are beginner, I would recommend using the A.S.R foot and setting.
Pillow Backing Method. I love an exposed zipper backing for pillows! The exposed zipper provides a pop of color and makes removing the pillow cover super easy to changes for seasons or washing.
Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff and on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for more fabric fun!
Have a great day and happy quilting!
