Every Rose Quilt Has Its Thorn: How to Avoid Mistakes With Your Next One
I’ve made one or two rose quilts in my time and I just love them! But best of all, I like to think of something new to add or an alternative approach to take each time make one. But it hasn’t always been easy sailing for all of my projects.
A number of times, I’ve had to give up most of the way in or have persevered to find that my superb concept was only that, a superb idea, and somewhere on the way things fell apart and the result was – well, not so great as I imagined.
Having said that, I did learn something out of my failed projects. I gleaned a bunch of learning experiences and what to avoid. Here was my biggest and most typical mistakes:
Picking a Complicated Pattern
If you are making a quilt, chances are you will slip into this trap. The K.I.S rule applies here (Keep It Simple). Roses are already a complicated flower and one that needs time to stitch. Mix that with a complex pattern and you might as well start researching ‘String Theory ‘.
The combination of the complicated stitching with a complicated pattern triples the time you’ll spend on the quilt and more frequently than not, this will lead directly to mistakes either in the stitching or pattern.
Bad Color Combos
This is something that is simple to do. Several times, I have picked colours that just do not go nicely together. The worst one was when I wanted a quilt with pink roses, when the room itself had a couple of shades of brown in it.
So in my head, I made the pink roses on a brown background work well together. But as my quilt transitioned from imagination in to reality, I slowly started to realise why this colour combo was such a bad idea.
This lead to me deserting the project about of the way through and consoling myself with a tub of ice cream.
So do not make the same mistakes as me. If you follow these tips and plan conscientiously, your next rose quilt is sure to be a winner.
