Rosebud Border


This is Melba's latest Stack and Whack quilt, one of many I have quilted for her.  This time I used the Feather Curl panto in the centre and custom quilted the borders.
The outer border is one of my favourite free hand border designs and I call it 'Rosebuds'.  I saw something similar done on a quilt on a quilting forum and they called it 'Onions and Garlic'.  I played with that design and put more emphasis on the swirl and it now looks like a rosebud to me.
It is a very fast and fun design to stitch out.
