Rose Sampler

This beautiful quilt belongs to Kym.  I really like how the McTavishing in the background has given a lovely texture behind the appliqué.





 
Kym’s choice of backing fabric was excellent.  I used three different thread colours in the quilting, and the print on the fabric allowed the threads to blend in - but you can still see the quilting, though subtle.
