as you can see, my design wall is woefully inadequate to display this flimsy best, but you get the idea. i am so glad to see this flimsy done; just have to add the borders that i've auditioned here and i think they will work great. plus i'll be busting more of those red scraps! i'll even have some of that cute henry glass shirting fabric left over; plop, into the "light" stash! red is so NOT my favorite color, but have to say i love this pattern and how it worked up. again, it's a marsha mccloskey, so thank you marsha! this will be tied and donated, recipient has already been chosen. just in time for winter....this is a good thing! **** this afternoon hope to finish adding the remaining 3 rows on the amish scrappy and then i can baste it with my wool batt. i'm keeping this one and it's going right on my bed for the upcoming winter. **** since i have lots of little project UFOs on my list for next year that i can finish quickly, i am thinking about making the hawaiian my primary project for the new year. would be great if that could get finished in 2012.
But I thought we were alike! I love RED. Hmm, you don't. Guess we aren't the same after all. But I love your completion.
ReplyDeleteAnd as wool bat in a quilt for your own bed in the winter sounds like a terrific idea. I have a wool bat on the shelf and never seem to choose it.
Grace,
ReplyDeleteI don't like red either, but I love your quilt! Lucky receipient. You are very generous.
Good luck with the job search. Don't be discouraged. This is a tough economy.

I'm curious why you chose to make a red and white quilt if you don't like red? Is it a favorite of the recipient?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think this quilt looks wonderful and I like the border you have chosen. Lots of work to it, but it will be effective. Good work!!
I love this quilt!!! The red is so striking your recipeient will LOVE it!
