I'm working on a quilt called chelsea garden, but instead of using the pattern recommended fabrics, I'm using different ones.

Also instead of appliqueing the flowers it calls for, I am using wild flowers (from EL) and am embroidering them.

I have 3 embroidered, and 5 to go. (The pink is my carpet)

Those are gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Love it - makes me think spring!

I love them! Don't you love rebelling against patterns? :-)

Beautiful fabrics and such lovely embroideries!!!
This is going to be beautiful quilt :D:D:D

Wow, those are really lovely!

Thanks, they aren't pressed yet. I ran outa thread :-( so off to the store tomorrow.

Those are beautiful. Is that a columbine I see in the top left? I love columbines!!!!

Yes it is. I'm kinda using my own colors to coordinate with the fabrics.

Wow!! Those are gorgeous. I can't wait to see all of them, when you get them finished. You are one busy sewer girl!!
:D :D :D :D

Those are pretty! :-D And a pattern is only a 'suggestion' right? ;-) Don't have to follow it! :D

The embroidered flowers are gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt! :)

Beautiful.

Beautiful embroidery!

can't wait to see the finish project
because it is beautiful now

Oh so beautiful!! I never learned to embroidery correctly and now I wish I could. Another Art that is being lost to future generations

very pretty

Oh Dawn, these are lovely! Going to make a beautiful quilt!

Your flowers are beautiful!!
Can't wait to see it finished!

Oh my this is going to be a show stopper! Love the whole idea of it.

Wow, just gorgeous and good for you to decide your own fabric and flower choices. Creativity is so much better than copying however, I DO copy as I don't have alot of "color sense" when arranging colors in fabric. I'm REALLLY good at red, whites and blues but my color talents ends there. :lol:

Your quilt is just going to be beautitul!! I just love the embroidered flowers, I think that is really going to set it off very nicely. Can't wait to see it completed. Sorry I can't see well enough to tell, are your flowers hand done or machine embroidered? Keep us posted :thumbup:

Beautiful color combo. Show us when you finish!

Thanks everyone.

Yes, the are machine embroidered and quite large designs.
