Simply Red Quilt Pattern BOM Rosette Block

March 14, 2017

Rosette is block Ten of the Simply Red Quilt Pattern BOM.

The Rosette block uses four red fabrics and one background fabric. A simple flower borderd by half moon shapes.

I love making the flowers as a whole unit before stitching them to the background. My Simply Red Applique blocks are stitched with a turned edge invisiblely by machine, you can find out more about how I do my applique here.

The only thing that may be of concern is that you need a variety of colours, with monopoly smoke and clear threads there are only two colour choices, therefore limiting how many colours you need.
