Chain of Roses

I finished this queen size quilt in summer 2003. I started it many years before when we lived in Iowa. The patchwork was machine pieced and it was long arm quilted.
I made matching pillow shams for the quilt out of leftover blocks. I use the quilt on our antique bed around Valentine's Day as it has huge pink roses on it.

I made this Beatrix Potter quilt for Hannah Grace Marshall, born January 24, 2010. She is the daughter of my niece Mandie Chism Marshall. This is the 3rd quilt I have made for the Marshall children using the Beatix Potter theme. The above picture is a close-up of the fabric panel medallion. I quilted the figures as well as free motioned quilted the background, following the fabric designs


A close-up of the borders. I used the scenic fabric for the outer border and the backing. The middle border was composed of the yellow radish toss (from the Garden collection) and a green print. The inner border is a stripe that matches a stripe in the fabric panel.


Another close-up of the corner medallion which I quilted free motion.
