Roses Town Square Quilt

Finished Roses Town Square quilt

     I fell in love with this roses fabric while browsing the quilt stores.  I bought two other coordinating fabrics to make a three yard quilt.  I chose the Town Square pattern to really highlight the roses.  The fabric was bought at Patched Works in March 2023.  I always buy an extra half yard of the fabric I think I will use as the outer border(unless it is a kit).  The patterns call for single fold binding and I prefer double fold, hence I buy extra.  I cut it out at home and then pieced it at quilt retreat in October 2023.  I later added the borders at home. 

Block and quilting detail

Borders

     I like the pink and brown color way, in fact I am wearing a blush cardigan and brown pants as I type this up :-)  I found a cute flannel at JoAnn Fabrics for the back.  It was ladybugs, butterflies and polka dots in similar colors.  Barb Jolley who quilted this for me in June of 2024, found this cute ladybug quilting pattern.  I asked her to only do it in the blocks, so she then did stitch-in-the-ditch for the borders.

Label 1

Label 2

     I used my embroidery software and designed and stitched out two labels for the quilt.  I finished up sewing on the binding while on a little vacation In Fairfield Glade, Tennessee with my husband to enjoy the fall colors.

Flannel backing

     Isn't that backing cute?  This will be a nice lap quilt for the cooler months.
