Hello Friends, I hope you have been well! I have been traveling lately, and am on my way home. I hope you had a blessed Easter celebration, and may you continually experience blessings from above until the next Easter!
Today, I am happy to share with you a gray quilt that is featured in the current cycle of quilting publications, the latest issue of Quiltmaker (May/June 2017). You know how I love gray — and gray floral is the name of the game for my Highland Roses quilt!
This is a 80″ x 80″ bed quilt that is made of simple blocks, set on-point for a deceivingly complex quilt. :) I hardly ever design difficult to construct quilts. :) In this shot below, you can see the florals much better.
Complete instructions are presented in the May/June 2017 issue of Quiltmaker. You may pick up the issue on newsstands, or purchase the digital magazine here. Exclusive quilt kits are available for a limited time here.
Highland Roses uses fabrics from Primrose fabric group by Windham Fabrics — check out the fabrics here. I have designed a couple of quilts using the same fabrics, including…
Flowering Tree – kits are available for $69.99 here.
Any of you are gray fans out there, please raise your hand? :-) Thanks for stopping by. I shall catch up with you later.

I think your gray quilts are beautiful!!
Luv the baskets with all that feathering!!! Is that pattern available somewhere?? Did I miss your post about that one?? Glad to ‘hear’ that your immediate travelling is done. Your busy schedule still amazes me. We are homeward/northward bound in a week. Beginning the TX “packing up” today. Hugs………………………
I really like the way the top quilt is photographed. Nice. Welcome home…
Wow, that’s stunning! I would not have predicted that gray florals would be so lovely and yet they are! That’s a testament to the skill of both the fabric and pattern designers :)
I think you have turned me into a blue & grey fan as lately that is the primary colors for any project I want to create. I hope you have a smooth & safe journey home.
