Embroidered Roses

Hi, everyone. Hope this day finds you well and thankful!

This elegant quilt of hand embroidered roses is a special treat for me. I don't often receive embroidered tops to quilt, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on this one. My picture of the whole quilt is not the greatest, but with the close up photos I think you can get a better idea of what the finished work looks like.















There were large white blocks in the center, and since this is a traditional quilt, a feathered wreath seemed a perfect fit here. This one has a few additional ribbons and leaves which adds to the frilly look of the quilt.

 The setting triangles received a similar look.













For the borders, a rose swag was chosen to go with the theme and enhance the overall look.

 The embroidered blocks themselves simply required a bit of  complimentary outlining and detail to give them a quilted look without taking away from the hand work.


The binding on this quilt will be red, and I hope my client will let me see it when she is finished. The hand work is stunning, and I hope I did justice to her hard work!

Until next time, Happy Quilting!
