Briar Rose quilt is complete! I used 2.5″ strips to make the nine patch blocks. Blocks should be 6.5″ unfinished.
Cut your white background squares to 6.5″ as well. For your little green star points, cut 2.5″ squares and sew them onto the corners of your blocks.
Kind of a nice old fashioned pattern. Edited to add: I realized after writing this that Thimbleblossoms has a pattern similiar to this, so if you’d like to make this quilt with a nice and well drawn out pattern, you can buy it here.
I used this yellow Anna Maria Horner Voile on the back. It was handy since this quilt top ended up being 50″ wide and voile is wider than quilting cotton.
I adore this print, and am feeling the panicky need to go out and buy some more to restock. This warm yellow is a color I find so useful. But I’m trying to resist fabric purchases unless absolutely necessary. I’ve been appalled lately by my teetering stacks of fabric and am determined NOT to feel the the desperate need for new stuff!
Right now, the only future collection that I know I’m going to cave on is Catnap by Lizzy House. Usually it’s Denyse Schmidt that I can’t resist, but this time it’s those kitties, and the colors!
love love love this quilt. great job.
so very pretty!
It's lovely Jolene! I need for fabric like I need a… Well, you know what. But I still searched Catnap! How cute, indeed!

This is absolutely lovely, as usual. I have not seen Catnap, I'll run to look at it.
Very lovely, and like you, I am hanging out for Catnap to be released. Cat fabric that is actually awesome – yes please!
This is my favorite quilt so far that I have seen with Briar Rose 🙂
Such a beautiful quilt and love the backing!! xo Heather
beautiful quilt 🙂
Such a great quilt! And of course…Briar Rose…I have hand my stack for months and have yet committed to a quilt design! It will be old news before I get to it I'm afraid!
It turned out just lovely. I like the backdrop too ; )
Love it, the greens are great! Thanks for the idea:-)
What an adorable quilt!!
It's stunning!! Well done for another beautiful creation. Xo
So pretty! I like the way you took a couple of the blocks to the edge. It adds a fun element to the design. I haven't been drawn to Briar Rose until now. Beautiful!
this is a beautiful quilt! and i hear you on the fabric buying…i need to cut back. (famous last words!)
This is lovely! 9-patch make me so happy, don't they you? And then you went and made them stars… oh swoon! I adore the colors too. I like how many different designs everyone is coming up with for the briar rose prints. They are so adorable!
Just beautiful 🙂
Really love this quilt! The colours really pop.
So pretty. I love the voile on the back too, it's just perfect. Catnap is calling my name too, I can't wait to see what is introduced at Quilt Market!
Lovely quilt… I like how you always add a little surprise element to your quilts; like the two strawberry fabrics squares along the edges here 🙂
oh, I HEART warm yellow and all the pastry colors, actually. But, especially warm yellow. Can't get enough of AMH social climber in gold. I''m looking forward to the new AMH collections…
Beautiful quilt! Haha, I understand you well, I feel the same about my stash! AND Catnap! Lizzy House fabrics are always among my favourites and the kitties and mice and butterflies are just so great.
Gosh idk if you will even see this comment, but by any chance do you recall what fabrics you made the corner triangles out of? That might be a million dollar question, I know I lose track of my solids but can't hurt to ask!
Hi Anne! I hope you see this, as your account is set to no reply. I think that the lighter minty green is Kona Pond, the darker sage green is Kona Olive, and the jade green is Kaffe Fassett Shot Cotton in Cactuas.
