Rose of Sharon



Another  quilt I worked on in 2011 was the Rose of Sharon quilt.  It was a BOM at Intown Quilters here in Atlanta.  I just have to finish the thirteenth block and I can put this one together. 













Corner triangles and setting triangles.





Rose of Sharon is made out of batiks which is not my favorite fabric to applique with. It always feels a little stiff to me but one good thing about batiks they don't ravel.
Happy stitching,
Nancy

  3. Hand or fused? Either way it's a beautiful quilt. I hve the book, just not the time! I love the look of the batiks although I am not a big purchaser of them. I might have to start a little collection.

  6. This is just beautiful. I love batiks for applique just because they don't ravel. Same with felted wool :)
