Royal Floral - 21-5 - a 3-yard quilt

 This quilt began by pulling a print fabric from stash that I wanted to use up;  pull 2 other fabrics to compliment the print................. then hunt for a pattern.  I chose this pattern called Pink Picture Frame.  

WoodValleyDesigns  for Pink Picture Frame pattern

and   Free Patterns (woodvalleydesigns.com) for a large selection of free patterns.


I added an extra border to use up the fabric , so my quilt finished at  53 x 62; a lovely throw size for a sofa.  I quilted it with navy glide thread  and gold glide thread on top.  Each round was quilted with a different design to vary the fun a bit.  This is part of the 3-Yard quilts challenge started by Mary Johnson of Heartstrings.  You will also find her  many wonderful free patterns here in the right sidebar:

I guess I am not very good with a camera.  The light color in the photo is really a lovely tan/gold fabric which should look nicer than it does here.
