I finished this quilt quite a few days ago,
but the weather wasn't playing ball
to get a good photo.
As I was impatient to finally get it into use
I decided I'd just take a snow photo!
So at last, my rose hexagon quilt
with an Ula Lenz Foundation-pieced Rose...
... and a scalloped border is finished!!
I will definitely scallop some edges again -
a lot of work and a jiggle to get it cut out,
but so so worth it I think!
The backing was pieced from leftover rose fabrics
and a larger piece of fabric cut into strips...
The strips actually run horizontally,
but as it's such a large quilt it was difficult
to get it to hang nicely over the fence...
There was quite a lot of powdery snow on the quilt
after the photos so I gave it a quick wash and tumble dry
and it came out all soft and snuggly and warm!
So it's on our bed and I love it!!

The sheep ran off when I came to take my photos!
Funny how fluffy white sheep turn brown when there's snow ;)
