The French Rose Quilt picture made me want to try this pattern sooooo bad. Don't have the pattern so.......I tried one block of my own rose design (just cut out a few blobs) and also decided to try FMQ. I want to make a bed runner and have a plan in mind but do you all think it will look OK or should I make more of an effort to obtain the pattern? Ignore the FMQ as that is my first try.

Thank you for your opinions.

I think you have the pattern down pat - really like your colors. Don't see anything wrong with the quilting either. Keep going.

Actually I think it looks pretty dang good. Thats the fun of it when you can draft something and call it your own.

Impressive!!!
That is really NICE for just a few "blob's"!
And the FMQ looks lovely too!!!
Great job!!

looks wonderful to me

I like it!! Very creative. Nice Job!

Looks reral pretty, and the quilting is looking great

Looks good to me. And I think you did a nice job with the quilting as well.

Love, love, love it. Keep going. Your quilting is great too. Can't believe you can do things like this without a pattern. I'm a pattern kind of person. Your bed runner will be stunning.

Oh, thank you so much. Just wasn't sure. Now I will go cut out some more "blobs" and squares and get started. I will practice my FMQ a lot more before I attempt to quilt the bed runner but you gotta start somewhere! LOL

Sorry - somehow posted message twice.

Looks great to be also. I think you could do a QAYG thing and then it would be all finished when you got to the last block. I love it. After it is washed it will look even better with the ruffily (is that a word?) ruffles plural edges.

I can't wait to see it finished! It's going tone stunning.

I just love it! How delicate, feminine and elegant. Great work...you don't need a pattern!

Looks awesome to me, both the rose and your FMQ! Your block would make a really pretty book or Bible cover!

What a great start to this project. Love it so far and your first try at FMQ is excellent.

Stunning! I love it.

You did a beautiful job on the applique and the quilting :D:D:D

I think it looks very nice.

I think you've done a wonderful job. You don't need any help with a pattern. I'm sure it's going to be beautifu.

The rose is wonderful, and great quilting! Please show us pics of the runner! :)

I just did this in a class last week--yours looks great. We trimmed the fabric behind the first 3 petals we appliqued (not the smallest one) and we didn't clip the edges the way you have done--they will fray just fine without it. Her sample was very ragged looking, but the edges not clipped--I think that will make your petal stronger. You have done a really good job drafting this yourself!

your block is lovely. keep going. you have the idea and that's all you really need.

Thanks very much for the info about not clipping the edges. I will try that. I can always clip after if needed/wanted. Did you use any stabilizer behind your rose? I am not using any maybe I should?

Can you make me one too !! How about a tutorial !!! Please and thank you !!! Really nice and encourages me to fmq practice , more thanks

Hi,

Your block looks spectacular! I really, really like your choice of fabrics. :)

Looks gorgeous to me, can't wait to see the completed quilt.

Looks pretty dang good to me! I have been doing searches for the pattern and am not having any luck, every one seems to be sold out. I thought about setting down and drawing it out, too. Good Job!

It looks lovely and the quilting is great.

I love it just the way it is - keep going!! And your quilting is very impressive!!

I think your FMQ looks great. I also like your free hand rose.

Very pretty-thanks for sharing it!
