Fabric Selection for a Pink and Green Quilt

This is the start of a new Pink and Green Quilt with a rose theme using the Double Stack Quilt Pattern that I have available in my Etsy shop.

These fabrics are so sweet and colorful.

The rose fabric is the starting point. I love roses and decided to make a rose themed quilt.  These antique roses are pictures I took of roses in my garden.  I’m a big fan of antique roses that can stand up to heat and the dry months of our summers in the south.

I found these roses at the Antique Rose Emporium in Independence, Texas and here is a post where I shared the experience.  Here.

  7. Illusion Diamond Pink from 1001 Peeps by Lizzy House for Andover Fabrics
  8. Dumb Dot Blush by Michael Miller
  9. Remix Zig Zag Pink/Lime by Anne Kelle for Robert Kaufman

The pattern is a combination of squares and rectangles.  I have been busy cutting out all the pieces to make the quilt top.

Do you ever have a day where your brain is just shut down?  Mine wasn’t firing on all cylinders today.

Do you ever sew two sections together incorrectly, pull out the stitches, only to restitch it the wrong way again?

That was me today, several times.  The seam ripper and I are best buds.

This pink and green quilt is coming together nicely.  Here are several posts with the progress and finish of the Rose Quilt.

You can find the pattern for this quilt in Etsy shop.  It is the Double Stack Quilt Pattern.

Thanks for stopping by.  Here’s to happy and seam ripper free sewing.  Cheers!
