It is a very old quilt pattern, first published in 1870. This interpretation is by Jennifer Beer from a book 'In the Begining' by Sharon Evans Yenter and is called Rose Trellis.
Original pattern used templates but Jennifers is entirely rotary-cut.
Pattern is based on the Snowball block with stitch-and-flip corners. The alternate block has simplified piecing so there are no set-in seams.
I couldn't find any rose fabric at the time so choose chrysanthemums. The border is plain with appliqued vine, leaves and flowers. I fussy cut the flowers.
I quilted it in the ditch and around the applique & FMQ a butterfly in each Snowball block.
Close up maybe able to see quilted butterfly
