Product Description

An elegant collection of appliqued roses comes together to form a heart-shaped border around an exquisitely-quilted heart in the center of this delicate new quilt design. The roses are at their most dainty-just before they burst open into full bloom. And the quilting is at its loveliest, drawing the eye to the central heart motif. An extra feature of the book is a variation of the pattern designed especially for wall hangings. It is called "One Dozen Roses." The Heart of Roses Quilt provides all templates for appliqueing and quilting, along with assembly instructions, fabric requirements, and complete guidelines for completing the project. Both the novice as well as the accomplished quilter will find this pattern a joy to make.

Heart of Roses Quilt An elegant collection of appliqued roses comes together to form a heart-shaped border around an exquisitely quilted heart in the center of this delicate new quilt design. The roses are at their most dainty-just before they burst open into full bloom. And the quilting is at its loveliest, drawing the eye to the central heart motif. Clusters of roses in the center of quilted hearts anchor the two lower corners of the quilt. Another cluster lies inside a quilted heart in the center of the pillow throw. The Heart of Roses Quilt provides all templates for appliqueing and quilting, along with assembly instructions, fabric requirements, and complete guidelines for completing the project. Both the novice as well as the accomplished quilter will find this pattern a joy to make. One Dozen Roses Wall Quilt One day, the staff of The Old Country Store (where I sell many of my quilts) was asked by a customer for a wall-sized version of the Heart of Roses quilt. I discovered that by adapting the original pattern and focusing upon the central motif, I had a design of exactly One Dozen Roses! Here are the full-sized patterns with clear instructions for making the One Dozen Roses Wall Quilt. -C. Jean Horst

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart of Roses Quilt, September 15, 2000

By	Charlynne C Masson (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews

Although being a novice at hand applique, this is truly a stuuning project. I made the smaller wall quilt version and have been deluged with compliments. I highly recommend this book. The patterns are complete, the pieces are easy to applique, even for a beginner. If you love hand applique and fine hand quilting, give this pattern a try.

This book not only has the large patterns for the applique, it also has the stencil designs for quilting.
