Miss Rosie

501 is the fifth quilt in the Miss Rosie Series.  The Miss Rosie quilts are designed by Carrie L Nelson in her book Miss Rosie Spice of Life.

Carrie made two quilts in this pattern.  One had a red background and the other a beige background.  This is an easy quilt, made very differently with different background fabrics.

I thought that I had enough fabric in my stash to make the background the same color, but after I cut the pieces, I found that there were two colorways of the same pattern.  This made a design element, not an error.  After all, it is a scrap quilt and we had to only use our stash.  I machine quilted my quilt with my domestic machine

.

My daughter also used light fabric in her background.  Although the fabric is different, it looks like the same quilt because of the value in colors.  Her quilt was professionally quilted with a long arm machine.

I enjoyed making the Miss Rosie quilts.  There are thirteen in the book.  I was very, very happy when I put the last stitch in the thirteenth quilt.

Have a great day and happy quilting.
