A Happy Quilting Re-Release : Desert Rose!!!

 Today is a Re-Released Happy Quilting Pattern and Quilts and it is Desert Rose!!!   Isn't this just so pretty!!!  I have always loved the giant blooms in this quilt!  And getting to mix and match your fabrics in each of the block is so enjoyable ;)     So here is the new look to a favorite  Desert Rose!!  

The  Desert Rose Pattern can be found in my Etsy Shop in both a Paper version as well as a PDF version.  And it is on Special for it's release with PDF Patterns at $5.50 and the Paper Patterns are $7.00!  The patterns are full color and the paper version is in book format. 

 Desert Rose is an Intermediate to Advanced Beginner quilt.  You get to practice lots of wonderful techniques while making these blocks including No-Waste Flying Geese, Half Square Triangles, and then lining up some pretty points with my favorite pin trick.   The blocks are build by layers, staring in the center and moving out into the three different fabric prints which are also the 3 different layers.   And each block just pops with the negative space in each bloom highlighting the prints! 

This version of  Desert Rose is made from Corey Yoder's Sunnyside Up fabric.  And ya, it is an older line and hard to find.   But as you can see , this is a super versatile design that would look good in just about any fabrics!!   You just need a Fat Quarter Bundle and away you go :)  And of course, while the white makes the print colors pop you can always use a different color background (I'll share one at the end :) !!   So whether you are digging through your stack of Fat Quarters or grabbing a Bundle, this quilt will look awesome in whatever fabrics you choose!!   

I quilted this version of  Simply By Design with some gorgeous custom quilting.   And I really wanted to make my prints pop, because ya, there is a lot of negative space in this one.   So I Stitched in the ditch around the prints and left them unquilted.  I just love how it adds that extra pop to the design.   And when I quilted these, they were some of my first feathers. I remember how nervous I was.  I love how practice has now made them one of my favorites to quilt ;) 

Desert Rose like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, has multiple size options so you can make whatever size quilt works for you ;)  The quilt I have been sharing is the Queen size, and the one below is the Baby size and then you have 3 more sizes in between!!   And however many blocks you are making is how many fat quarters you need, as each print will be showcased in Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 mixed up in three different blocks.  How fun is that!!! 

And that is my  Desert Rose quilt and Pattern!!!    And Isn't this little version with the dark background just so fun!!!   I hope you love making your own Desert Rose Quilt and please, when you are done making it , share your quilt with me !!     You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or add it to social media with  #happyquiltingwithmc ;)  I can't wait to see your Quilts!!!
