Some La Passacaglia Rosettes Ready to Rock and Roll

I have a lot of rosettes ready to be organized so I thought I would do a photo show in my post today!  Right now, there is only one large rosette with three smaller pieces attached:


The other three large rosettes are ready as well.

Then there are some smaller rosettes awaiting placement. I have several more smaller rosettes that are partially finished as I wait to see what I need where.






Such a fun project!

New Large Rosette Underway

After looking at the large rosettes for this project, I decided that one of them did not go well with the others. My black and pink attempt to do an outer flower ring was a little bit blah compared to its three siblings so I ripped off the outer ring in preparation for using this as one of my smaller rosettes in the quilt. Then it was time to find some new Liberty Tana Lawn prints for the large rosette, so I went for the flowers! There are some sailboats and rabbits thrown in there for good measure. The rabbits are the small hexagon in the first ring of stars. Here is the new large rosette in progress. As always, the center of the rosette consists of the little creepy Cranford faces. I think I have just enough of this fabric to use in all of my rosettes, then it will be gone for good. Happy quilting! Susan

After a lot of thought, I have decided to use Elizabeth Hartmann's Honey Quilt Top pattern from her book Modern Patchwork . She has many versions of this honey quilt top on her blog Oh Fransson! that you can check out, they are wonderful.  I think this pattern will show off the Mendocino fabrics really well since the pieces are not too large and not too small. My next decision is how to put the hexagons for the quilt top together.  Originally, I was thinking by color group (plum, fuchsia, brown, orange, gold, blush, light blue, natural) and shading from the
