Oh, yes. The colors are a little more vibrant in reality (still working on my photo skills), but this is the idea. Finished size: 11 1/2 by 12 1/2.
I really, really love how this came out. Like I said, I don’t always know until a quilt is made up what my ultimate verdict is going to be. And it’s true this is a little visually noisy. Doesn’t matter. Still love it. Makes me happy to look over and see it pinned on the wall.
Not even sure why. It’s not like I’m a big fan of the color red. Red is all right. I like it in combination with other colors, sure. But it’s not like seeing a red and white quilt typically fills me with a deep seated need to “make one now.” This was just an experiment, a “Let’s see what this looks like in red and white,” an “I’ve never made a red and white quilt before” kind of experiment.
Didn’t expect to fall in love. But I did. Yup. I love this little quilt.
This and the Kaffe Fasset version are the May projects. Love them both. Happy days.
I love red and white so I think this one is lovely. It's good to work outside of the comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt -- the noise is a joyful one. And that's YOUR book! I've been meaning to ask dh for it for mother's day, and when I saw it on your sidebar, I thought, "oh yeah! she got that great pattern from that great book." Then I realized she WROTE that great book. Good work!
