Quilled Monogram K in a Bright Paper Flower Wreath

Hello everyone! Today I would like to show you a project that is very close to my heart: a quilled monogram “K” in a bright flower wreath. This piece was made specially for the annual Paper Festival that takes place in our region, in the Old Paper Mill. It was a perfect place to show paper quilling flowers, and I wanted to prepare something special for it.

First, I created an intricate wreath of quilled flowers, and only then I decided to add something personal. My name is Kate, so the letter “K” was the natural choice. I made the letter bold and clean, without any filling of coils and swirls, because the whole composition is already very rich, and more details inside the letter could make it too noisy. The simple yellow “K” gives the eye a place to rest, and the flowers around it can shine.

The flowers are the real heart of this quilling design. The complex purple flowers remind me a bit of morning glories, especially with the little striped buds that I added between them. The yellow flowers are made with the “triangle coil” technique, which I developed myself out of vortex coils. I love how the soft purple, bright yellow, and fresh green work together, so the wreath looks cheerful and full of spring energy, even in a white frame on an ordinary wall.

Thank you for reading and for your support! I hope this quilled monogram gives you some ideas for your own quilling projects, whether you like quilled flowers, letters or personalised paper art. If you try the triangle coil, I would be very happy to see your work. More quilling ideas are coming soon, so stay with me!

Tips: Paper and Tools for Graphic Quilling

The best way to get the right strips for graphic on-edge quilling, like the letter “K” in this piece, is to cut them yourself from paper of around 120-160 gsm, because the final project will be more durable. For this, you need a fine cutting knife that lets you achieve very neat edges. I have personally been using Excel Blades knives for many years, and I love them.
