This quilt was made for a college graduation. The theme needed to be the Sorority colors and symbol, a red rose.
Close up detail of the rose. I used a frayed edge to get a three dimensional look. I used many different reds, be sure to use some orange reds, they really make the other reds pop. Instead of cutting circles, I made a random wavy edge, cut them out in three sizes, sewed the 'circles' on top of each other on a square of white; then cut each square into quarters and sewed them back together to get a nice distribution of color.
As a passionate quilter, I have developed a love for creating unique One Block Wonder Quilts and some are featured in the book by Maxine Rosenthal, One Block Wonder Panel Quilts. My quilting journey has also led me to discover Millefiori quilts and Inklingo, which have ignited my passion for hand piecing. Professionally I enjoy making memory quilts from clothing and t-shirts to commemorate lives lived, careers, and special events. As a blogger, I am excited to share my experiences and insights.
