The Mrs. Kretsinger’s Rose Pillow Cover is a modern tribute to the early 1900s quilt block of the same name. This appliqué bouquet draws on the elegance of timeless floral quilts, reimagined at a scale perfect for today’s home. Each petal and leaf unfolds across a crisp background, coming together like a garden paused in full bloom.
Sized for a 20″ × 20″ pillow cover, this project is perfect for showing off favorite fabrics, experimenting with raw edge appliqué, or trying new color combinations. Whether you keep it classic in two or three colors or go bold with scrappy florals, it’s a piece you’ll want on display year-round.
Skill Level: Confident Beginner
Step-by-step video instructions with full-size appliqué templates. Watch on YouTube here
Finished Size: 20″ × 20″ pillow cover

Envelope back finish—no zipper required
Includes cutting diagrams and clear template labeling for each shape
Diagram for appliqué placement included
Yardage requirements for background, appliqué fabrics, batting, lining, and back

I always return to hand quilting and natural dyes when I want a project to feel like home. There’s something about that rhythm—needle through cloth, stitch by stitch—that settles the heart. Arrowhead is one of those patterns that holds space. It’s simple enough for a beginner, yet satisfying for seasoned quilters looking for a slow, soulful make.

All sales are final. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out—I’m happy to help and want you to feel confident in your purchase.
Thank you so much for supporting my work. It means the world to me that something I designed might be stitched into your everyday.
With warmth,
Kim
