My sister just adopted this sweet baby girl a few weeks ago and you know what that means -
I get to make her a baby quilt! (That’s my daughter holding her new baby cousin.)

Ever since I put together some French Rose Buds quilt kits, I have been looking for an excuse to make one myself and now I get to! I created the kit completely from Kona Solids to give it a clean, fresh appeal. This quilt will go in the baby’s room.
French Rose Buds Kit
The kit includes one of Heather French’s fabulous French Rose Buds patterns, a smaller version of her original French Roses. Read my French Roses Quilt blog posts here and here to see the variations I’ve made from the larger sized pattern.
Tracing and cutting the petals was fun!
I spent a glorious day cutting out all of the fabric for the quilt. I’m making mine slightly larger by increasing the width on a couple of the sashes. I may use some of the leftover scraps to extend the borders, too.
All Pieces Cut and Ready to Sew
The rose appliques are all cut and ready to stitch down. I’ll be sure to blog about my work-in-progress. This is going to be fun!

Oh what a little sweetie! And she’ll look even cuter snuggling in her new quilt!
Beautiful! I made the original pattern a few years ago and this makes me want to make one again!
This is my third one (including two larger versions) and I just love making them!
Looks so sweet – baby and her becoming quilt!
Oh, I like the roses and the soft baby colors.
Hi Christina. I would love you to stock a bright purple Kona!
Thanks Meren! I’ll add it to the list
What a cutie, lucky baby finding a forever family. Checked out your Kona solids and love the Petunia Light Purple, well all the purples really, well all the colors.
How precious! What a blessing for your family. The quilt will be adorable. Can’t wait to see!
