Welcome to my "booth" in the
Fall 2015 Bloggers Quilt Festival!
Hosted by Amy Ellis @ Amy's Creative Side!
My (only!) entry this time around will not surprise some of you!
"Prairie Rose Garden"
I made this quilt in September for the Moda Bake Shop using Tucker Prairie fabrics by 1Canoe2
I have made 3 other quilts using this block design, that I "christened" Prairie Rose.
The block design, and name, came about as the result of playing with some leftover HSTs for a baby quilt...the baby's name was/is Lila Rose, and I live in Prairie country!
I was thrilled to have the sweet opportunity to make a whole "garden" of these blocks for the Bake Shop with this amazing fabric collection!
The "stepping stones" are completed around the edges with a simple border.
The one criteria I set for myself when making these Roses was to LOVE each combination of fabrics
in each block, with less eye to the overall composition of colors. With these gorgeous fabrics, I knew I couldn't mess up the outcome!
Some of the individual blocks....

| The corner HSTs create "stepping stones", scrappy when placed all together, but cohesive with each block. |
