Do Something Different With Your Next Rose Quilt

Its easy to fall into a habit, doing the same familiar things repeatedly. Its the safeness of knowing can do whatever it is and do it with good results. The disadvantage of this is you can get into a routine that becomes boring and you wind up thinking about why it is that you’re doing what you always do.

This is something that can happen a lot with rose quilt designs, you can wind up making numerous quilts that end up looking the same and finally lose motivation to do another one. Well, now’s the time to break that cycle and the simplest way to do that’s by working with with a fresh design, so here’s a few:

Chequered Roses Pattern

Just like a patchwork style quilt, a checkered rose pattern is something that’s not frequently done with roses. So why not incorporate a couple into the squares and add a a touch of colour and style to your next one?

Linking Vines Pattern

This one will take a some forward planning. Get some paper and draw out a design for your vines to follow, ensuring that they don’t bunch up in one particular place. Then, when you have something you like, add a peppering of roses!

Wreath of Roses

Why should Xmas have all the fun with wreaths? A wreath of roses makes a great centrepiece for a rose quilt and has a fresh and inviting appeal that’s unbeatable!

Pick two or three colours to make something extra special.

Border of Roses

You don’t always have to cover each square inch of a rose quilt with flowers. In fact , you can get an effective and minimalist effect by stitching borders of roses round the edges of the quilt. It looks fantastic and really stands out!

So there you have it, 4 great new designs to push you out of the same of rose quilt cycle!
