this is a pic of my first quilt, I have just finished it, every square is filled and no two are the same.. The roses are all different colors and many or the other blocks are actually free designs. I have had so much fun with this and i know i will be making another one soon. it was a huge learning curve as i even had to learn how to hide an hole in the main fabric when the machine had a tantrum. a first time for applique work and again it was fun to try out and then next project is to try out the patchwork xmas boots in the hoop. thank you all for teh wonderfull sites you have found for me to have fun with without you all i would not have found so many wonderfull dragons and witches

so very nice, where in the world did you find all the dragons? You should be very proud. Did you just use a large piece of fabric and then divide with your pretty rows of hearts or are they individually sewn blocks? It looks great.

thank you for your kind remarks the fairies were found in embroiderydk as were some of the dragons. i did cheat with this quilt as i purchased a singlebed thin padded quilt from a thrift shop for $6, removed the valance and then cut the quilt in half.
i then grided the one half into five inch squares. i found a simple rose outline and put one into every other block changeing direction of the flowers on each diagonal row and makeing sure every rose was a different color, the wording weas created useing a tiny free font frome skeldale house. it is not too dence and does not cause any problems and sits inside the frames nicely to give a very personal touch. each grid line was sewn out first useing s decorative stitch on my machine the two halves of the quilt were attached to each other useing a small heart at the intersection of each grid line.
my freind trades under " Dragon rose " so this seemed a good subject for her, it is now parceled up and wil be posted to her tomorrow. We have never met and most likely never will but we are good freinds and more like sisters.
hope this explains how i created it

This is beautifull,I think this is a very interresting concept, and wish I had something like this for my mother in law, who had Alsheimers desease, when she passed away She would play with her hands and lapquilt all the time, and this is so colourfull and pretty it would have kept her busy all the time.

This is really nice and lots of work I know you had fun I have digitised the designs I used on 3 different quilts I got permission to digitize them but only for my own use can not sell or give away the designs. Except for my frogs I can sell or give them away .
