I don't know the name of the pattern, but it was on the cover of one of the Quilting magazine (lots of help there, huh?) about 5-6 years ago. I think it's an old standard. All it is is four square blocks and blocks with the corners. it can easily be used for a siggy quilt.

Sweet! Love the idea and realisation of the idea! Pretty quilt and your quilting is lovely!

Very pretty. I love the 30's reproduction prints, too. They are always so cheerful. I really like your quilting and admire you for the ingenuity to find a pattern from another source.

I disagree with you, I think the quilting is just right for the quilt. It was certainly worth the wait, but boy, ob boy, she sure is GLAD to finally get out of the closet!

Wow! Great job on the quilting! Congrats on your new frame! The quilt is beautiful! I hope you have many happy dreams snuggling under it!

I don't think there is too much quilting overall, just that the roses are a little dense. And not enough around them, so the white puffs out a bit. This was a learning quilt, and I will always love it. It's the first one I've done where I've tried for a specific, recognizable thing, like roses, as opposed to my favorite spirals and meandering.

This is the biggest quilt I can make without taking the frame out to king-size, which I do not have room to do. And still, on my new giant mattress, it is not quite big enough.
