It's A Finish! Waffle Cone Roses

 

It's a finish!

Waffle Cone Roses

51 x 63

I can't believe I finished the top back in December 2021. I guess it has been that many years that I have worked with rose themed fabrics in December because I love roses and the quote by J.M. Barrie, "God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December."

Waffle Cone was a free quilt pattern when I made this. Now I see that the link I previously gave for the pattern is broken. 

I big stitch hand quilted it with a variety of different brown perle cottons. I used some stencils I had on hand and a pounce pad with chalk for marking. Some of my stencils I have for hand quilting don't work well with big stitching so I didn't add butterflies; however, I did work in some dragonflies as you can sort of see here.

I liked this pattern for some big prints as well as some smaller scraps. 

I love how I can feel all the fabrics soften as more and more big stitches are added.

And I love to be covered in roses. 

Back and binding.

And sew on...

Reflecting today on all I am thankful for. The list is long. Hope yours is too.
