On a cool summer day in January 2017, we visited a rose garden in Auckland, New Zealand.
When I started to design a quilt for my youngest daughter, who still loves roses and favorite colors are dark reds, sage green, and grey…I quickly drew upon this garden for inspiration!
I went into my EQ8 software and began breaking this rose down into sections – and this is what I came up with!
The pattern has two block types – a rose block inspired by that bloom I photographed in the garden and a heart block with a rose bud inside. The pattern makes a large throw size quilt (60″ x 72″). I wanted something that she can take to university in a few years that she can wrap herself up in. The pattern is available today in my Etsy Shop.
Did it capture the feeling of walking through a rose garden on a summer day? I hope so.
