Roses on the Breeze
 

This has to be one of my favorite quilts ever. waiting its turn to be finished since 2006. It will be in an art show this weekend.

The original pattern is from Quilt Magazine, 2005 or 6 and the name of the pattern is
The Wave Salute
by Leigh Headington, Margaret Pate and Diane Coleman. www.thesweetteagirls.com

Some people on the QB have made this pattern in the red, white and blue with yellow stars.I took a few liberties with the pattern and turned it into Roses on the breeze.

The breeze brings the scent of roses through the window pane

I love this quilt and hope you enjoy it too.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!! I've never seen that one and I love it! :)

New one to me too. love those curves. was it difficult? love your fabrics!!

This is beautiful and unique! Excellent pattern matching on the back...indeed, it looks like a perfect match-up to me too!

A pretty quilt and great techniques!

Yes! to matching those seam lines on the print fabric. It's those kind of details that make the quilt.

Very pretty.

Sew pretty!!

I do love it. I love the uniqueness. It is lovely to look at.

This quilt will make a beautiful display! You've done a marvelous job of combining some retro fabrics into a modern quilt. Excellent!

Beautiful quilt! Thanks for sharing.
Did you use a template to make those curves?

Very nice!

That is a very cool pattern. I stay away from anything with curves as it looks too difficult-Love the fabrics/colors you used as well :-) I'd say it was worth the 12 year wait!

Beautiful! Love your fabics too. Great work.

I did use the template that was in the magazine and it really isn't as hard as everyone seems to think it is.

The curves were not hard to do. Each block started as an 8" square so the curve was gentle and easy to pin and handle.

Yours is beautiful!!!! Never thought about doing it in other colors - I did one in red, white & blue & love it! It is a very fun pattern to do! Not difficult! After seeing your amazing quilt I may have to try it again in other colors!

I think it looks fabulous. May have to try some day:) Have seen it done in Red/White/Blue and thought it was really attractive for QOV. Love yours.

Wonderful quilt...I love the movement of the design the curves give. I have not seen this pattern before. Great job.

At first I couldn't figure out how the pattern went together, but the close-ups cleared it all up for me. Thanks for posting them! And you get a prize for perfect matching!

Very NICE Good job

You do terrific work. Thanks for showing us.

Nice quilt.

Beautiful quilt!
