April 2013, Hi Cuties, older cuties will remember that I made many rose squares to be used in a quilt for myself. I would open patterns and 'clean them up' before I began sewing them, in one pattern I saw

several hands and elbows holding the center bud!! I decided to make this rose and use it as a conversation piece lol

I finished the quilt about a year ago but was hesitant to show it off, the colors are not that great.

I do not use stippling to quilt, I like the light and airy feeling of simple stitching so I just stitch close to the quilts seams, in this case around the outer purple diamond then around the inner purple diamond, also
around the top and bottom purple lines. And for me sleeping in the air conditioning this is enough of a cover/ blanket to hibernate for the night he he

Picture 1: one original rose pattern and how I edited it to fit the 4x4 hoop, plus the actual stitch out.

Picture 2: all the rose squares.

Picture 3: I love how the purple shows off the roses.

Picture 4: The finished quilt, the color combination is a bit strange but I like it LOL

Picture 5: My quilt, head on.

Picture 6: Yes I remembered to make a quilt tag.

Would any of you have used these colors LOL
