red/cream flimsy and border idea

 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.

  1. 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.

    And 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.

  2. Grace,

    I 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.

  3. 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?
    Well, 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!!
