‘The most beautiful of all rose wreaths, if made with care, will result in a quilt that will be a joy forever.”
The instructions for the Farm Journal Rose Wreath are really good for a pattern from this period. Many times there were just template pieces and a drawing of a finished block. I’m not sure about the accuracy of FJ patterns, but I believe mail order patterns in general are more reliable than newspaper patterns, which had more strict space requirements. Also, because this is an appliqué pattern, as opposed to a pieced pattern, there is more flexibility in the design.
The FG pattern pages vary in size — this template page is 8 1/2″ x 11″, and I scanned it at a resolution that should just fit if you save and print it on that size of paper.
It’s wonderful! A good example of a classic! So pretty! Thanks Martha! Hugs, Mickie
This is a very pretty pattern and will make a beautiful quilt. A couple of years ago, a lady wanted me to make a quilt for her. She had a kit that she had for a long time so I made it for her. It was this quilt. It turned out to be sooo pretty. At that time, the only problem I had was trying to find some pink that color to go on the border. Found some that was close, but not the same. I would love to make this quilt again. Thanks for sharing, Martha.
I would love to try this block someday!
I love the description on top “if made with care..” ;))
Very pretty pattern! Thank you!
