Retta, think it's up to you on fabrics. What pleases you & what you think your sis would like. Luther gave a very detailed description of the rose & reasons for his choice. Here's a link.

Am starting a stained glass window applique somewhat like the picture on the link but adding Paul to Cor. (Love is patient, etc.) in the small rectangular squares.
Hope you post a pix of your rose, would very much like to see it.
