1. Remember that stack of roses? 2. Then they got laid out on my bed? Lots of sewing later...about four hours worth, 2 this morning and 2 this afternoon...each piece had to be pressed with hot iron front and back before sewing and seams had to be ironed afterwards.
3. And now they are all sewn together! Wha-la! I'm really excited because it is looking like this is going to fit on my queen sized bed. There will be at least 5-6 more inches around of borders, which means I'll have an extra layer on the bed that will be very pretty, and backed, I think, with flannel for extra warmth. The batting is cotton (Warm and Natural) with is added warmth too. Might not even need to wear socks to bed. Whatdya think of that?
I am absolutly in love this this quilt!!!
