It's a finish!
A quilt with no name because "big rose print surrounded by rose print Snowballs and Nine Patches" is too long and not very inspiring. How about "Snowball and Nine Patch Plus"? Ugh, not very creative, is it?
How about "Roses for Cathy"? After all, this quilt is for me!
54 x 72
That is the size I like for my lap quilt on those days when the house won't get warmer than 67 and I feel cold when just sitting doing hand work and watching TV with hubby John. Oh, and I just love being covered in roses! Now if they just made scratch and sniff fabric...
This is the center piece. One little corner of it was missing. I think I used that to make a six inch hexie a long time ago. That hexie is in my 2013 finish Rainbow of Favorite Things. Well, I just extended the 9P/ Snowball border into that big print center.
I used the same rose print fabric for all of the Snowball and Nine Patch corners.
The rest of the Nine Patches and Snowballs were made with rose print scraps in warm colors. I quilted the Snowball/ 9P border with some four petal wild roses and some leaves.
In the center I quilted following along some of the lines in the motifs.
There are more roses on the back and the binding is a stripe with tiny roses.
And sew on...

Happy New Year!
