Finally, A Rose Quilt Ready For The Digital Age

By Jane Green


If you ask anybody under the age of 30 what words come to mind when you say 'rose quilt ' chances are, you are going to get a large amount of replies like 'old ' 'dusty ' and 'uncool '. Expect these to come up a good deal. While you may believe otherwise, it seems that a lot of the younger generations don't view these sorts of quilts the way in which we do.

So what are we able to do about this?

Well, you could disagree with them until you are both blue in the face, but that is not going to switch anyone's view. No, what you're going to need to do is make a rose quilt that a more youthful person is going to love.

So I have wrote down a couple of ideas of my own to share with you.

Pixellated Quilt

There are one or two who are no doubt wondering, what is 'pixellated '? Pixellation is the effect that is utilised on the news when a suspect is arrested or taken in for interrogating. Their face is mostly obscured by covering it in multicolored squares.

This is an effect that harks back to the graphics on processors in the time of late 80's and early 90's. Many younger folks love designs that look to be pixellated or squared out. Using this on your roses in your pattern will give a design that younger folks are sure to love!

Cartoon Roses

This is a design that's superb for people of a much earlier age. Have a look at the styles of the cartoon shows that your nephews and younger children watch. Most cartoon styles have thick outer lines with a single colour filling in the middle and nominal shading.

If you make a rose quilt following the same design styles, hopefully the effect should be the same, giving you cartoon roses and a quilt they're going to like!

So now you can change somebody's opinion of rose duvets by using some new designs and making a quilt they will love for years ahead.
