It looks pretty dull, but the light is so poor today (more rain), that even though I put all the lights on in my bedroom it hasn't helped much. It's actually quite fresh and pretty and fairly pastel.
One thing I discovered about this pattern is a way to save fabric. The instructions tell you to cut out all the pieces for all the rose petals before you start. I rarely do that, as I'm always itching to get on with the sewing and hate cutting. This time I was glad, because since the petals are of decreasing size
I realised that I only needed to cut the first two large petals, and could cut the smaller ones from the cut-away fabric! We'll beat this recession yet!

LOL I did my petals in exactly the same way! I have quite a bit of the kit fabric left.
Yours looks very pretty.
I made a scrappy bullseye in the similar fashion and did the same - the price fabric is this side of the pond it pays to be frugal :o)
Sorry forgot to say - despite the lack of natural light this looks lovely - very pretty
Oh Lynda it's beautiful and I can't believe how quickly you've achieved it. Any plans for how you're going to quilt it yet??
Lynda this quilt is really lovely. As it has continued to rain since Monday I expect you have made even more progress!
As usual I must ask a question (or two!) Is this raw edge applique? Are the roses bondawebbed on? if so how do you cut away at the back?
I am sure that your friend will love this quilt - so shabby chic!
It is a pretty quilt. Very clever of you to save fabric that way.
It so pretty...even if it was a dull day when you took the pic.
Just when oh when is the rain going to let up?
