Lorraine Arndt of Oregon made the "A Celtic Spring" pattern several years ago.

Lorraine Arndt called her quilt "Spring Garden".
|

Lorraine received a First Place at her local County Fair for this quilt!

Here are close-ups of several Celtic Rose blocks:

1-14-12 Ann of the Glendale Quilt Guild made this block from a workshop she took from Scarlett about 12 years ago!
Here's the original hand appliqued Celtic Rose block, before the border was added.
This variation of the Celtic Rose block has three dimensional roses.
Here's a machine appliqued version, with a bud and flower combination instead of the roses.
