Rose Scrap Quilt Top - UFO Almost Done!
 

In pursuit of finishing UFOs, I pulled out a pile of scrappy rose blocks that I put together before I had a firm grip on measuring. Yeah, I know I should be ashamed of myself and probably should have tossed these blocks ... but I didn't. At least I got the vertical and horizontal seams to match up but sad to say, what's going on inside those blocks ... well you'll see.
Happily, it is so busy that I don't think it much matters. I plan on quilting the heck out of it so hopefully the points that go this way, that way, and the other way too won't be so obvious.
Either way, it's for me to curl up with in front of my fireplace while I enjoy my Elm Creek Quilt novels :o

Oh that is soooo beautiful!!!!! I would never have thought to put all those fabrics together. I love it though!!!!

It's beautiful ~ and will serve it's purpose well even if it doesn't have perfect points!!

Sunbonnet and Grandma Bonnie, you are both so kind. I think you've inspired me to knuckle down and get the quilting done!

perfect points or not it is beautiful....love the fabrics...and the quilt police won't be at your house....

The fabrics are so pretty.

Brenda, my husband thinks he is a member of the quilt police force!
Ronda, Only on book two. I treated myself to three of the three-in-one hardcovers. Love it. Up to Round Robin and Bonnie's stinky husband having a computer affair.

Put in a heavy poly batting and actually, don't quilt it to death, just put on a lovely easy going pattern and you will like it a bit better. To much quilting on something like this actually shows the boo boos more. At least in my experience. That is my thought. I like these kinds of quilts because we can look back and reflect how far we have come in our skills and learning. The fabrics are so busy, no worries in my book for ya. I have a couple of these also and the kids love to use them because they seem to have the most comfort.

Busy?? I guess so, it just reminds me of being in the middle of a beautiful rose garden. Thanks for sharing.

I think it will be very beautiful I can't to see it completed! Love the colors!

Krystyna, that is lovely. I just love the roses. When I look at it it reminds me of my mom, she loved roses. Until you did the close up, I could not even see the missing points. I'd say you planned it that way. Use it and love it. I do agree that is shows how far you have come in hour quilting. I really see it maybe even double batted and tied very loosely!! I don't know why, but that is exactly what I envisioned when I first say it. A nice fluffy comforter that just cusions you will lovely roses, like you were rolling in them. Less the pickers, of course!! LOL You are an inspiration!

This is a beautiful quilt, thanks for showing it to us.

It's like a bed of roses. Very romantic.

Onalee, I never thought of double batting. Not only am I attempting to use up my stash of fabric, but also my stash of batting. And there is PLENTY of it. The last estate sale I went to ... 24 bags at $1 each! How could I leave them there? Impossible!

Beautiful fabric Krystyna. Hope you get it quilted before winter sets in. It should chase away the winter blahs with all the beautiful roses in it to remind you that spring will come again. :thumbup: :)

Real roses are never truly symmetrical so what makes you think that you quilt should be? I'm just saying...... non perfect points and all it is a beauty!

Krystyna- your quilt is beautiful.....it reminds me of a cozy cottage..fresh and a bright rose floral to liven the room up.

i have to agree with the "poofier" batting idea - and maybe just knotted.....it's beautiful...made me smile just looking at it. how nice that will be on a cold winter night to snuggle under !!! no way you could not feel cheerful !!!

Love the roses in your quilt. Who will notice the points anyway??? One thing I want to know is when do you find time to read. Your veils, the DQ swaps and also the regular quilts. Some body said it would make them think of a cottage and since you live in one by the sea it is really great.

Well, I think it is beautiful! Like you said, the quilting will minimize the "off-joint" seams and points. Great job!!

Pink roses are my favorites. I love all that material together. Have fun quilting it.

I have just started reading the Elm Creek novels also and have finished the first two. Hope the rest of them are as good. I love your quilt, too!! :thumbup:

Well, don't give away what happened to Bonnie's stinky husband!

Krystyna love your rose quilt and my MIL would die for it she love, loves roses! I bet it will be cozy and warm this winter. And by the way love your cottage by the sea! Would love to sit with a good book and a warm and cozy pink quilt by the sea this winter!

very nice
love your fabric

What a beautiful quilt. I love all the roses.

What beautiful rose fabrics.

That is really awesome. So what if the points aren't perfect. Waste not want not!!!

Beautiful! Love roses!

that is so very pretty, I love the fabric.

Really nice work. Looks great Krystyna!!!!

I think those are beautiful fabrics

The way you put all those different rose fabrics together makes it look like a huge English rose garden. Love love love it! As far as the points go, just tell the quilt police that those are wonky center blocks instead.

It's charming!!! I love it and the colors are so vivid. Who cares about the points - I would have never noticed if you had not pointed it out - seriously..

it's wonderful!

I love it Krystyna.....even if the points don't match, it still looks wonderful. Love the colors!!!

Exactly! And what a yummyl thought... covering up with a beautiful flower garden! I love, love, love your romantic roses! Thanks for sharing it with us! You're mighty lucky to be able to curl up under this beauty!

coool I don't think you should of tossed anything. it is a wonderful quilt I love it.
