My green Rosy quilt (a Kaffe design) is finished. I just love this quilt. What's not to love about green; it goes with everything. Nature shows us lots of green and it goes with every color of flowers.
I have it photographed upside down to the way I designed it so a couple of one way designs are upside down here, but I'm short, and this quilt is taller than me, so I didn't want to unpin it and turn it around.
If I had flipped the photo above, then it wouldn't match this photo that shows the back.
I bought this Kaffe backing fabric specifically for this quilt. I love the fan print.
The quilt is 51" x 69" so it's a nice nap size.
Here is a closer look at the backing and binding.
The few touches of blue and gold/orange are nice mixed in with the green.
Here is a closer look at one section I especially like. I used 2" finished squares in the 9 patches.
I especially like the 2 rows of different size squares around the perimeter. They are 2" and 3" finished sizes. The original Kaffe quilt is shown on this post with the book it is in.
Now I have a choice of what to work on next. I need to cut the strip pieced blocks into 2 strips each and I could start piecing the Tilda quilt.....or I could do a little of both, my favorite way of working.

What a beauty this green Kaffe quilt is!! Perfect Wanda!!
It's gorgeous, and I love the pops of color throughout. That backing is really pretty.
I just love how you pair those KF prints in your works; this one is so pleasing to the eye ;)))That fan backing is just a lovely print. What a cozy lap quilt it would be...Wonderful finish, Wanda!!
25 here and partly sunny skies greeted us this morning...temps are supposed to go upwards through out the next few days.
Hugs, Julierose
Yay is right! Lovely assortment of prints.
love all the colors and how you mixed solid blocks in with the nine patches
One Glorious quilt with so much to see on this one. If you wouldn’t have featured all the extra photos we wouldn’t have seen what you did. Another grand creation from your studios.
very spring like indeed....lots of green grass in that quilt!
You are SO right that green goes with everything. I have tucked this quilt away in my Ideas for the Future file - it is just gorgeous!
Lots of yummy green Kaffe colour! I wouldn't have enough greens for a one-colour quilt like this!
Oh my! This quilt is a feast for the eyes, especially for this green lover! Absolutely stunning, Wanda!
Oh, that turned out so nice!
Congratulations on a great finish! It is beautiful - makes me think of walking through the woods.
What a pretty finish! Those fans on the back look great!
Another fabulous example of using simple shapes and colour selection to make magic - it's a beauty. I also have the book mentioned, very interesting reading.
I must hve just deleted, by mistake, the comment I wrote!!
Simple shapes and colour and pattern choice win out again, it's beautiful. I also have the book mentioned, very interest reading.
