Hello to all those of you who have faithfully downloaded the 8 parts of the Floral Fantasy pattern. I haven’t (blush) been faithful to post as you have been to check in and get your free patterns! I have been too busy to even turn around!
Congratulations to all of you. Karen and I would love to see what your quilts look like. My favorite strips were the hollyhock, daylily and this one-the trumpet vine. Which ones have you enjoyed doing? Did you find yourself using all three sizes of the leaves on the vines? What kind of fabric did you use? I had one phone call from a quilter who was using her stash to make the strips.
I have been astonished at how popular the Floral Fantasy has been. Karen reported to me how many downloads there has been-around the world too. I’m so glad you have enjoyed this pattern and eagerly waited for the next installment.
Happy quilting,
Rochelle Martin

Happy Fall! Please accept my apologies for the late post - I was busy wrestling my Cotton Spice blog from the birthday hijacker! But, all is safe now and Rochelles Quilt Along continues!
Here is Part Five!

Are the autumn months your favorite time of the year like mine? We don’t have the colored leaves, pumpkins and fresh apples but we have the rain and cool temperatures so it’s on the way! If you live outside of United States, we’d love to hear what the weather does this time of year at your house.
It’s been so exciting to see your response to the Floral Fantasy quilt! I hope it’s coming along for all of you. And the best thing I like about the quilt is that the flowers reach across the entire blooming season from early spring to late summer. I’d love to hear about the fabric you have selected for your quilt. Have you picked out 8 green fabrics or are you doing it with one or two greens? Are you going to change the colors of the borders?
Happy Quilting,
Rochelle

We are moving right along, and Part Four has been posted! This month our flower is Violets… YUM!
Anyone have any pictures to share? We’d love to see them. I’m still working on Part One, slowly but surely. I’ve appliqued (machine) the leaves and stems. All I have left to do is the bluebells and then I’m on to Part Two.
Happy Quilting Karen

and it is the day to put up Part Three! I’ll be doing that later today, so if you haven’t saved Part Two yet, this is the time to do it. Of course, it will go on sale at the Cotton Spice Quilt Shop, but why not get it free?

Appliquéd quilts are my favorite kind of quilt to make, share, see and cuddle up in! And I think 99% of them have had flowers in them. Who can resist bringing the garden outside into your home?
This past winter I was making a wedding quilt for my son and his bride. It was blowing, snowing and would chill you to the bone in minutes in our Michigan weather here. But in my sewing room it was summer with the appliquéd wreaths and butterfly blocks I was making! It cheered me up immensely and I usually love winter.
What kind of appliquéd quilts have you made?
