Okay, here is the finished quilt top that I've been working on for my younger sister. The quilt block is the basic block for Kansas Trouble. I didn't like the Kansas Trouble layout, so I just kept trying different layouts until I came up with this one. In the center of the 4 large non-floral blocks I'll be putting crocheted flowers (photo attached). I am pleased with how it turned out and I'm certain my sister will love it. What do you all think?

Beautiful.

Love those colors....the layout is very nice. I am sure she will love it

Good job! Like your layout. Colors are lovely. She will love it.

Sorry, I still have not figured out how to flip the photo once I have it on this site. On my computer it's turned like it should be, so I can't figure it out.

it is astonishing......

:-D :-D :thumbup:

I like it.

This is a great quilt. Love the colors in it.

That's beautiful!

Beautiful quilt!

Very Lovely!!

I really like how you laid out the blocks at either end. I had to look twice to see they were the same block. They really set off the quilt!

I think it's gorgeous!
How about telling us where to get the instructions for the flower or doing a tute on them?
I'd love to do something like this. :)

It is beautiful...love those colors!

I never thought about adding crocheted goodies to a quilt! What a cool idea!! My sister loves to crochet and that is a really good idea for a quilt for her. Your quilt is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

Very pretty!

It looks great.

Beautiful! :thumbup:

You can find the rose instructions on crochetmagazine.com, March 2009. It is found on the pattern for a rug called Lattice Rose. I used just the instructions for the rose and leaves. If you can't find them I can certainly do a tute for you.

The instructions had just two rows of the petals, I added the varigated purple row to make the flower bigger and to also make the pink more visible. You can make it as big as you want and, of course, use whatever colors you want, the sky is the limit.
