If you’ve ever been captivated by the intricate beauty of Celtic knotwork but wondered how to bring that into your quilting – this one’s for you.
In this video, I’m sharing my favorite method for machine-stitched Celtic appliqué, including:
- The 3 design rules I always follow when working in a Celtic style.
- How I use bias tubes, water-soluble basting glue, and careful stitching to get smooth, clean results.
- Why I often appliqué and quilt in one step—and how you can too!
To demonstrate each step, I’ll walk you through the process I use when creating the Celtic Blessings quilt – which is available as a downloadable pattern in my shop.


You’ll find the full patterns and complete instructions for both the Celtic Blessings Quilt and Celtic True Lovers Knot here.
Happy Quilting!
