Ohhhhh just wonderful!
I rather like the look of this . I have tried to enlarge for a closer look but no go.
I wonder is it one piece layered on top of another .
Really fresh looking
Thank you Kathleen!–It is layered–4 different layers but I cut out the back before adding each layer which really reduces the potential bulk.
I am in love with your quilt… the colours are beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.
Corey, this is really charming! Can’t wait to see it all quilted, washed and crinkly! Hugs!
Very pretty, and clever to cut out the back to reduce bulk.
It’s so pretty Corey! I want to make this quilt so much!
Wow! That looks beautiful.
that is a cool quilt! can’t wait to see it finished off
That is just gorgeous. Very creative. Is it your own design? And how smart to cut out the layer backs to reduce bulk.
The pattern is French Roses & it’s not my pattern. I’ve wanted to make one for awhile and am finally getting around to it. The pattern suggests cutting out the back & it’s really a wonderful suggestion!
trop jolie bravo
Very pretty.
I love the quilt and the fabrics you are using. It will be so beautiful.
This is beautiful!
I love this pattern. The fabric you used is just great! I made one too but kept it small without much in the way of borders. It is my favourite lap quilt for watching tv. Our cat loves it too. : )
I so love this quilt! I would love you to post some closer pics. xxx
When you showed the one flower block I wondered if that was for French Roses. I have the pattern, I have fabric…
YOURS is gorgeous. 🙂

LOVE IT!! 🙂 Barb.
It’s beautiful!
This is truly beautiful. How do you cut out the backs? Please share.

Thank you! For this pattern each block is comprised of the background square plus 4 flower layers. After sewing the first layer to the background fabric you flip the square over and cut out the middle of the background square leaving a quarter inch seam allowance. Flip the square back over, sew down the next layer, cut the backing away(you will now be cutting the first flower layer) & repeat twice more.
Beautiful!
I love how your mind works!
OOh So pretty!
It looks so lovely….. this quilt is on my TO DO LIST… the fabrics are even pressed…. 2012…..here it comes!
Looks lovely, can’t wait to see the finished product!
It´s so wonderful and delicate colors
Love it and the material.

Lovely. I love the colours and the pattern – never appliqued and cut away the back. Sounds interesting.
