OK, so if I write a post about the quilts I plan to make, does that mean I’ll actually get to them? The projects are stacking up, but I found some beautiful Kaffe Fassett fabric today (pictured at right).
I wouldn’t really consider myself a pink roses kind of person, but this fabric is bright and clean and I was immediately drawn to it. I have been planning to make quilts for the girls from old baby dresses — a way to recycle and pass something along. So I saw a copy of Quilt Pink magazine (available at your local quilt shop) which is a publication of Better Homes & Gardens to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Have you noticed that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Talk about the power of women and PR.
Anyway, this lovely magazine has a beautiful applique rose quilt pattern in it:
So I think I’ll try to make a small quilt for each girl and back it with the roses fabric. With both girls’ birthdays in December, the holidays and a trip to Hawaii coming up, we’ll see if it happens. Look for my finished quilts sometime next year!
Hi, love the roses quilt and am looking forward to seeing your quilts. The Kaffe fabric is perfect. Have fun sewing, but be warned, it is incredibly addictive.
Oh I love that quilt. Any way to get the pattern?
Hello,
I love your rose quilt! Please, can you help me to get the pattern? That would be great.
I´m a beginning quilter and I cant belive its like your on drugs: fabric, fabric, fabric… more!!!
Have a nice day

I LOVE this quilt! I made this one first for my daughter while she was away at Army Boot camp. I made 2. one I used soft pastels for my eldest daughter and primary colors for my middle daughter. Both are remarkably different in look, yet both were sooo much fun to make. We ended up working on them together. The best tip I can offer is to use freezer paper. I assembly lined every step. The longest part was washing and ironing all the fabric and cutting each piece out. The rest was a breeze. I will say however that this was not a one weekend quilt, it was more like 4 weekends from start to finish. Good luck, Deanna
If anyone has any idea how to find this pattern, I’d love to get a copy.
Thanks!

Hello, I’m A New Quilter And I would love to get a copy of this Rose Quilt Where Can I find this Pattern
Thank You JOANNA
Hi Girls,
I’m a new quilter and I bought this pattern as it is good for beginners. It’s “French Roses” by Heather French. The pattern is for a throw but is very easy to expand into a quilt for your queen or king sized bed. I’m making a king sized quilt with shams……this is sooo addicting. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I am!
