White Flower Rug

About the Design

Two open white magnolia blossoms float side by side on a soft aqua background, their petals shaded in cream, linen and gold to give each bloom gentle depth and dimension. Sage green leaves and khaki stems anchor the flowers at the center, while a pale aqua oval frame sets them apart from the busier outer border. A ring of royal and aster blue accents forms a repeating dot-and-dash pattern along the rug's rim, echoing traditional embroidered edging and giving the whole piece a finished, tile-like border.

Skill Level and Time

This chart is rated intermediate, suiting stitchers comfortable with shading and color blending across a large grid. Built on a 100 by 60 stitch grid, the piece totals 4,536 stitches and carries an estimated completion time of 38 hours, making it a solid week-to-week project depending on pace and available stitching time.

Palette and Materials

Twelve colors bring the piece to life: white, cream, linen, yellow, lemon, gold, sherbet, aster, royal, aqua, meadow and khaki. The layered near-white tones across the petals call for careful placement to preserve the soft shading, while the aqua and blue palette on the border stays simple and repetitive, offering a restful contrast to the more detailed floral center. Finished, this design works well as a floral rug or a framed statement piece for a nature-inspired room.
