Its simple to fall into a habit, doing the same familiar things time after time. Its the security of knowing that you can do whatever it is and do it very well. The downside of this is that you can start getting into a routine that becomes uninteresting and you finish up wondering why it is that you are doing what you are doing.

This is something that occurs a lot with rose quilt designs, you can end up making several quilts that end up looking the same and eventually lose the urge to do more. Well, now is the time to put an end to that cycle and the best way to do that is by starting with a fresh design, so here is a few:

Chequered Roses Pattern

Like a patchwork style quilt, a chequered rose pattern is something that isn’t commonly done with roses. So why not incorporate a few into the squares and add a little bit of color and style to your next one?

Linking Vines Pattern

This one will take a some forward planning. Get some paper and draw out a design for your vines to follow, ensuring that they don’t bunch up in one particular place. Then, when you have something you like, add a peppering of roses!

Wreath of Roses

Why should Xmas have all the fun with wreaths? A wreath of roses makes a great centrepiece for a rose quilt and has a fresh and inviting appeal that’s unbeatable!

Pick 2 or 3 colors to make something very special.

Border of Roses

You don’t always have to cover each square inch of a rose quilt with flowers. In fact , you can get an effective and minimalist effect by stitching borders of roses round the edges of the quilt. It looks fantastic and really stands out!

So there you have it, 4 great new designs to push you out of the same of rose quilt cycle!
