It's a finish!
60 x 72
Back in November 2020 I was looking through my rose colored glasses scraps and decided I needed to do something with them. I divided them into a bin of pastel scraps and darker scraps. I first decided to work with the pastel scraps and made a variety of six inch blocks trying to use the scraps to their best advantage with little or no further cutting.
And this week the top was quilted. I'm not good at stitching in the ditch so I stitched on both sides of the seams both vertically and horizontally. I wanted just a minimum of stitching.
After that I remembered that the batting should be quilted at 2-4 inches so I tied the quilt in the center of each block with variegated pink/white/blue crochet cotton #10. Then everything seemed just right.
I had just enough of the backing fabric to use for the binding.
And this is the back.
Another lovely rose quilt!! I really like these rose ones you are making...

Very pretty. Peaceful and calming. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the pastel rose prints you've put together in this quilt, Cathy! They make a very warm and cozy looking quilt. I like your simple quilting, too - gives the quilt the look of a comforter. Great finish!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt! I always look forward to seeing what you have made. I wish I was more like you and actually finished my UFO'S.
ReplyDeleteThe turquoise vibe is what really makes these roses glow. A beauty! (BTW, thanks to you, I'm finding rose fabrics in nearly every corner of my stash.)
ReplyDeletePretty winter roses to help tide you over until summer roses reappear!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a fabulous finish! Classic blocks to go with classic roses, that is a happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteI really like this and adding the ties in the centers was a great way to go. VERY pretty.
ReplyDeleteTo me, this is a very comforting quilt. It is calm and fresh.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Good idea to add the ties, traditional addition to a traditional style quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like this design and the random placement of the block, and of, course, I love the roses.
