Roses in December: Waffle Cone Roses


A new top!
Waffle Cone Roses
51 x 63



Remember back on December 1 I said I had a bin of dark scraps and I removed the brown and orange ones for a future quilt?   This is that future quilt. I used a lot of those  scraps in the blocks that are strip pieced.  I thought this pattern would be a good one to use with some large brown rose prints. 

I had a few other odds and ends in browns to go with the big prints. 


This was a quick make and I like how it turned out. 

I have a lot of brown scraps left...

...and a couple more small pieces of big brown rose prints so I will probably piece a backing for this one. 

I'm working with my collection of rose prints this month. This is rosy quilt top #3.

Thanks for the pattern link and congrats on another beautiful quilt top with a rosy glow!! Will there be another? It's amazing just how far some fabric can stretch, Cathy! Looking forward to seeing just how many quilts will come from your rose print stash.

That’s a great pattern to use those large print fabrics on! Looks like it works up quickly. I even spy an old rose fabric I used to have and love! Nice finish, Cathy!

Is the waffle cone your idea, Cathy? It's a great way to use large scale prints and coordinating strips. A bold design.
