I did it by machine. I have some wall stencils with arts and crafts/macknintosh style roses, that I love. So I kind of used them as a guide, but mostly just winged it. I'm learning to machine quilt on the frame, and that makes it much easier. I really suck at free motion quilting without the frame- I'm in awe of the folks here who do it well.
I don't know what the pattern is, but when I dig out the magazine, I will tell you. It's really just a four patch alternating with the solid white with the corners.
