[@virginiacollis4580]

I made 3 full size quilts out of a few bags of scraps for 50cents to 1.00 at my quilting group that the rest of them didn't want to use. After they saw my French Roses quilts they were really shocked and loved them. We had been on a shop-hop and my sister bought the pattern. She never made one so I made 3 just alike. I used all different kinds of material and colors. They turned out beautiful and that was years ago but we still love them. Only 3 alike in the world. My daughter, my sis, and me.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Great success story, Virginia! Those three quilts sound beautiful. The French Roses are easy and look fabulous in any fabrics! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@lindascharf70]

I love this pattern. I really love fussing cutting. Thank you so much Lea! This is so traditional.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Glad you like it, Linda! The best part is how soft and fuzzy those flowers are. You'll love making them! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@mojosbigsticks]

I need to do this! I'd not seen it before. Beautiful.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

[@marygeorge9688]

Very pretty.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Thank you, Mary! 😊 I love the finished pillow! Thanks so much for watching. 😊 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@rosemaryhanderson6122]

Right up my alley. Thank you so much .I am just now flinging all my scraps around to make sense and you gave me a purpose for it. I’ve been leaning towards giving this a try now I have the perfect instructions. I like to make what I call “quirky houses” and this fits right in with what I love, whimsy. You are my new hero

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Not to put words in your mouth, Rosemary, but there's something wonderful about the sound of 'Quilting Super Hero'! LOL Have great fun making your quilt! I love that you'll be using lots of scraps, that'll look awesome. 😍 We're of a similar mind, I used to quilt lots of beach shacks made with the brightest, boldest batiks I would find. Quilting can be such fun! I'd love to see your scrappy rose garden! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@elizabethcollins8817]

I loved this rose lesson 🤗 I wanted to make a quilt with these adornments for a long, long time

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Go for it, Elizabeth! So glad you enjoyed this tutorial. 😊 This one is pillow size as I didn't want to commit to a full quilt until I tired a couple first. Needless to say, I love these roses and there will be more! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

This is the second rose quilt idea I've seen today. Why they all show up in my suggested videos on the same day, I dunno LOL. I really like this one - I'm about 1/3 through my very first actual quilt (more of a bedspread with how lightweight it's turning out to be), and now I'm finding all sorts of quilting videos on here. I absolutely LOVE your vintage fabric you used for the background in this project.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Glad you're having fun with your first quilt, Linda! The French Rose pattern has been around for years. It's probably becoming popular now as it fits the shabby chic look, plus it's super easy to make! Yes, that vintage fabric is fabulous. Check out this Vintage Fabric Baby Quilt at the link below. The colors are so soft with scattered, delicate flowers. Plus there's a free pattern. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise kzbin.info/www/bejne/r17FY2mgibaeZq8

[@happiestgirl7217]

Sew beautifullydone! I'll have to add this to my "Make next" list :)

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Yay, glad you like it! 😍 These roses are fun and are a quick project. Now I want to make a quilt version for myself. Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@theresawoodruff333]

Beautiful! I definitely want to try this. I am surprised the batiks frayed so nicely so I'm glad you used them so we could see that. Thank you again for a great video!

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Have fun making your own, Theresa! Yes, batiks will fray rather well. Generally all 100% cottons work perfectly. I totally enjoyed every step of making this! 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@vickisparks5612]

First of all I love your name and your voice is so relaxing but your tutorials are awesome I love how you take things to a other level, but not so hard to accomplish I thank you for that keep up the great work that you do😊

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Thank you so much, Vicki! Making quilts is my passion and I just want to enjoy the experience. There are so many beautiful quilts we can make with easy techniques. Let's keep it simple and fun! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

I love it ❤.🙆🙆🙏🙏

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Thanks, Neva! They are so soft and fluffy and just perfect for a pillow top. Appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@wilmastewart6887]

Watching you do this I started wondering whether putting one or two layers of either a lace doily or lace fabric might look good. Just a stray thought.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Wonderful idea, Wilma! That would be a great look and such a fun twist. 😍 Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Wonderful idea

[@cherylinchrist4826]

I like that too

[@AnitaSouthall]

Such a great technique 👌

[@AnitaSouthall]

Add to a bag 🎒

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Yes, Anita, it'd be beautiful on a bag! 👍

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Hey Anita, glad you got to see this! It's such a fun way to add some pizzazz to any quilt! 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@louettesommers8594]

How lovely ♥️ Your hands are nails look so pretty.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Thank you so much, Louette! 😊 Glad you enjoyed this video. I think you were the first to see it as I just posted it! 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@user-ni5hm7ri4c]

Спасибо за очаровательный розарий. Удачи. 😊

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

Спасибо за просмотр. Удачного квилтинга! Lea Louise

[@carollee7832]

Would it be easier to use a serpentine stitch? Instead of moving fabric back and forth.

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

That's a great idea, Carol! Thanks for the suggestion. With the serpentine stitch you just have to pivot the fabric without all the other movement. I'll definitely give that a try! There is a French Rose Quilt in my near future. 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@susanmarch2340]

What if I started with the bottom layer first...stitching 1/2" from edge and adding layer at a time? Same effect???

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

You can absolutely do that, Susan, and I'm sure the results will be wonderful! It's always fun to use your own ideas to various changes. I even thought about placing a layer of batting under the flower center to give it a bit more dimension. Quilting is a personal journey giving you many creative opportunities! Thanks so much for your comment. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@Coastalanne54]

How about using flannel

[@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise]

A perfect choice that would work great, Anne! Appreciate you watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

[@sophiastamatis9235]
