Around the Rose Garden...Zillion Pieces..

I thought I'd call this "Around the Rose Garden"...
I must say, I'm glad I stuck to all rose fabrics...still scrappy but oh so pretty...
I decided not to make it square as first intended, because I'll use it as a lap quilt...for me!
It measures 72" x 60"..
I have this lovely rose border fabric, and deciding whether to add this as a border or not...I think it should work in nicely adding a lovely rose framed finish..
Thank you Lois for the inspiration....

Have a lovely weekend.....♥

Wow. This turned out really fantastic. I love seeing a quilt made out of a fabric I normally wouldn't be drawn to but makes me think "maybe I should do that too".
