Briar Rose

 

Last night I had the pleasure

of returning Dawns quilt to her

after I quilted it.

It was such a pleasure quilting this quilt, its called

Briar Rose and you can find a free tutorial here at

England Street Quilts

Dawn made this from a batik Jelly roll and white homespun.

 

I quilted this on my APQS handguided machine, I statrted by

outlining all the white blocks with a 1/4 inch border. I then made a template

for the centre stems and copied to each block before I quilted the feathers.

 I then did line dancing in all the square blocks followed by

a meandering feather around the edge.

 

The back was just as good as the front but this picture doesn't do it justice

I just did simple ruler work in the outer border.

I was really happy with how this turned out and am ready to tackle
my next quilt.

Happy Quilting!!
