A Rose By Any Other Name.....

Greetings from the dry tundra of southern Connecticut.  I hope we get the predicted rain tonight and tomorrow!

I was inspired to share this quilt after reading Barbara Brackman's wonderful post about Rose Krestsinger and her unfinished rose quilt.   You can read the post here.

The Rose Quilt - 1998   Is it wrong to say that I still LOVE this quilt?  I even changed my header in honor of it.


Here is a blood stain when hanna lost a tooth while it was on her bed.


This is the ONLY quilt that I had quilted by someone else and I still regret it.  It's lovely quilting, but not mine.

Here is Rose's work:

And mine.  I forgot how much I simplified the flowers.


I used only a few fabrics in this quilt.  The tiny berries are my favorite part.


I was struck today by how much it has in common with my Jubilee quilt.  I am back to quilting a little every single day and have just finished the top border.


coco looked on with her usual enthusiasm and confusion.


Our poor little Starbuck had 2 teeth pulled today and a cleaning.  If only he would have flossed more.... We get to pick him up early this evening :(


Anyone else do this block?  Or have another pretty rose applique' quilt to share?  I'd love to see them.
