The Rose of Sharon center was chosen because of our shared faith in Jesus. The term "Rose of Sharon" is used in Song of Solomon 2:1. In the some English translations of the bible. In this popular old song celebrates the link to Jesus.
What a wonder you are,
You're brighter than the morning star.
You're fairer, much fairer
Than the lily that grows by the wayside,
Precious, more precious than gold.
You're like the rose of Sharon,
You're the fairest of the fair,
You are all my heart could e'er desire.
Sweet Jesus, Sweet Jesus,
What a wonder you are,
You're precious, more precious than gold.

This link is probably why this traditional applique pattern has been given this name.
Feathers quilting: In this quilt I have been working on my free form feathers and I am pleased with how I am progressing. I am feeling more confident with each project. (Now all I have to do is master shamrocks for another project!!!!)
The quilting is lovely... and it is a very nice use of strings. Looks feminine! Sandy C
