It's a top!
Fairlawn Roses
84 x 110
I used all rose prints to make the blocks. The pattern, called Fairlawn, is from the book Making Quilts with Kathy Doughty.
" God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December" --J.M. Barrie
. “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Abraham Lincoln ( although some attribute quote to Alphonse Karr)
“It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses, we must plant more roses.”― George Eliot
I do love roses!
And sew on...
Finished or Not Finished Friday at Alicia Quilts

When I went outside to take photos of my quilt top I noticed a lot of animal footprints going through all my gardens. I think most are raccoon and deer and maybe fox. Oh my!
But some may belong to gnomes. Oh my!

Gorgeous quilt top. Thanks for sharing the rose quotes.
Fairlawn is just beautiful--so many pieces in these, Cathy--You did a super job!! Hugs, Julierose
Cathy, such a very lovey quilt that Fairlawn is. I've noticed the blocks as you made them. You always keep going with your quilting and enjoy your blog every day. Getting close to Christmas and the New Year. The older I get the faster the days go! Diane in MN

Great flimsy! Indeed, thorns have roses.
Cathy, that is a gorgeous design! All those pretty rose prints and color - love it. I would love to walk through your gardens and meet up with a gnome or two!
